Since 1973, approximately 6,000 people have been sentenced to death. During this same period, 69 people have been released from death row with substantial evidence of their innocence. This translates to a rate of over 1 innocent death row inmate for every 100 death sentences.

this fact by no means prove that the margin of error is only 1%. on the cantrary, it indicates that the real number is much higher.
