According to a study published in the journal of
the National Academies of Sciences, more than two-thirds of all the
innocent people on death row have yet to be exonerated.
Civil libertarians and liberals justifiably find this
outrageous. Conservatives should, too. After all: For every
innocent person sitting behind bars, there’s a guilty perp walking
around free, laughing his head off at the sap who took the fall for
him—and the boneheads who made it happen. What’s the solution? It
would be a good start, argues A. Barton Hinkle, if every state
followed the lead of North Carolina and established its own
Innocence Inquiry Commission. It’s time to start righting the
wrongs of our broken criminal justice system.
