I think the vast majority do. The ones that don't are usually a combination of incompetent/insufficent defense and prosecutorial misconduct. And if the former is sufficient it should be able to expose the latter. In the current system, to little is done at the original trial, and then there is a endless series of appeals. I'd put more into the original trial (and make the system more consistant by having all murder trials held at the federal level under federal law.)

If the issues is incorrect convictions, identify why these happen and fix the system. That's an entirely separate issue from whether a properly convicted murderer should be executed.

So you think all murder convictions get to the truth?

Do you spend much time in the real world?
