I remember one Law Lord in the Upper House in Westminster say one time, that if he had tried The Birmingham Six, and the death penalty had have been fashionable (I don't think the death penalty has actually been revoked in England; could be wrong here, though), he would have "strung 'em up".

How many innocent people, roughly, get executed in the States every year?
The law of averages would have the figure fairly high, I'd say.
