Explains quite a bit.

In the United States, after review, around 7%-11% of those given a death sentence were found to have been wrongfully prosecuted due to suppressed evidence that could have exonerated them or contributed to a lesser sentence, or inadequate legal counsel.
It's not that I think the death penalty is morally wrong. Government has the right to impose the death penalty. However, for the sake of the few who committed no crime worthy of death, I don't support the death penalty as it stands in our current justice system.
