What: Death Penalty Mistake
Who: Kirk Bloodsworth
Where: Maryland
When: March 10th 2014
Why: The death penalty can be unfair because many innocent people are falsely accused and then killed. Anyone can be arrested if there are enough witnesses but witnesses are unreliable. DNA testing helps catch the real criminals but is not always possible (destroyed evidence, faulty equipment, etc.). There has been a decrease in death sentences and executions since the 1990's.
