Or to put it in starker numbers: 1 in 25

Since 1976, around 1,300 people have been executed in the USA. If 4% of them happened to be innocent, then in the last 38 years we may have executed as many as 52 people for crimes they did not commit.

Can I ask how does the US get so many sentences wrong? Is there a cause? For instance Japan still has capital punishment, but they very rarely use it, this year the first execution was on June I think.

Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you
