Hundreds? I'd wager that the appeals process vacates the death penalty based on technicalities far more often than it does based on innocence.

The fact that most appeals process rely on technicalities has nothing to do with the fact that it can save innocent lifes.

I didnt say it did. You also cant say that letting criminals off on technicalities didnt cost far more innocent lives after their release than innocent men convicted. Virtually he only criminals who are given the death penalty are those who's crimes are so egregious and/or who represent an ongoing threat to society.
