Innocent defendants
Perhaps the most critical defend for the abolitionists on capital punishment have been the conviction or execution of innocent person. There is a report on the claim of death row demonstrates that nearly 69 person have been released since new evidences have proven their innocence after 1973. For the United States, the justification system has already created more and more failures. For example, the report tells various cases of criminals like Rolando Cruz, released after 10 years on Illinois's conviction on 1985.Neverthless, Cruz has went through two times convictions and another man had confessed to the crime on 1994.Despite the errors on Cruz, Sabrina Butler, who achieved freedom after five years on Mississippi’s death row because of a prosecution that she was trying to murder her own child. Fortunately, it is turned out that the baby was possibly died of disease. In addition, there is an occasion consist of cases in which the defendant has been threw off of death row after new evidence found. Nevertheless, a conviction against them still remains. There is considerable evidence indicate that wrongful capital punishment has increased and this method certainly brings pain to the person whose crime was pinned on the wrong defendent.
