What's the worst in that? That's what she said - she didn't know how it got in her purse (twice she has used the same reasoning)......can it happen that someone could slip something in her purse - yep. Probability it happened twice to her - - maybe not.

Well over 200 men have been released from prison and set completely free...men who were on death row...when DNA evidence cleared them. Evidence was presented that was SO conclusive, so defenseless, that 12 people passionately proclaimed them "Guilty!" to the point they were willing to take their lives for it.
And well over 200 times, they've been completely innocent. It's not just a once-in-a-while thing.
I don't expect Eddie Long to be guilty. I see him as a man of God. If evidence is revealed that proves him guilty of the accusations against him, I'll be pummeled and told to eat crow. But I'll be glad I stood by him.

200 out of how many millions? That still constitutes as once-in-a-while. Sad that it happens - you betcha. And many times it's our messed up legal system that sends them there.
I have my doubts about Mr. Eddie. And, I have that right just as you have the right to believe he's innocent. I can eat crow too if I have to.

Well, I won't be feeding the crow. You can count on that.
Millions are sent to death row? Are you sure about that??? I'd say "Thousands" would be a better word.
I have no doubts about "Mr. Eddie" as you called him. I have worries, but no doubts.

There are 3,261 inmates on death row in the US, currently.
Quote:
Since 1973, over 130 people have been released from death row with evidence of their innocence. (Staff Report, House Judiciary Subcommittee on Civil & Constitutional Rights, Oct. 1993, with updates from DPIC).
From 1973-1999, there was an average of 3.1 exonerations per year. From 2000-2007, there has been an average of 5 exonerations per year.
