Well, it looks like I over-extrapolated in my post about no wrongful executions which I hastily made from reviewing the list provided by Guest,#. After following Joe Offer's links, I retract that statement. Please, folks, don't tar and feather me...I'm almost sure that would be cruel and and unusual punishment. I do stand by my earlier conclusion that overall the system works quite well. The link by SRS, re Michael Phillips, is an example of it. He was not executed, he has been exonerated and is now free.
