A recent example I can name off the top of my head is Michael Morton, of Texas. Spend some time reading stories from The Innocence Project. http://www.innocenceproject.org/
Not skewed... what about all the other reasons for false convictions, which are on the site that you reference, and you left out? What about those convicted because of bad science? Witness testimony is about equal with the other things, and the issues, that I acknowledged cover a large percentage of those false convictions.
I also think that we need to acknowledge that an overturned conviction does not mean that they are in fact innocent.
