What a bag of garbage. Wiley is probably the preeminent publisher of scientific and social science research. But you can't be arsed to open it, because hurr durr random shit durr. It's a research study done by a doctoral candidate at the Michigan State University School of Criminal Justice. It also specifically covers the murder rates before and after in states that implemented a moratorium on the death penalty.
And I also see that you misunderstood the second link, which specifically mentioned that the 4.1% number is likely a conservative estimate. Also, smaller crimes don't get the death penalty as a sentence, and the vast majority of death penalty cases are state cases, so not sure where you're going with the DoJ.
Don't expect everyone to download random pdf files. Next time post a summary or maybe a respectable link where you don't have to download shit.
Second link only provides estimates or guesses NOT ACTUAL. I had been thrown estimates by you and the other clown that's why I specifically said "So let's say 4% is correct figure" to establish a baseline. Looks like you are the one having trouble reading bud.
Also way to dance around the main point I made 4% is still 0.74 innocent people and 8% is 1.49 innocent people who "
MIGHT" die due to wrongful conviction. Then I pointed out how 251000 innocent people "
ACTUALLY" die in comparison just from medical error. That doesn't stop the system from functioning human error exists deal with it.
