What happens when a man is found innocent after being executed fifteen years earlier? Absolutely nothing because we can not being people back alive. There was not always DNA testing available, so the police always followed leads and interviews. Now that DNA testing is available many have been found innocent from the convictions that actually put them on death row. According to ask.com more than fifteen death row inmates have been released since 1992.
To me personally that is quite a lot. To still have whoever has committed that crime on the loose still is a bit of a terrifying thought, knowing that they are able to do the same thing again. That does not even account for what people have been innocent after the fact that they have been murdered. According to the Death Penalty Information Center there was a list of eight people who were found to have been executed but possibly innocent. Killing an innocent man is completely wrong in my eyes and the legal system needs to start really making sure they are convicting the right people.
