The legal system failed these individuals in the worst way possible. Welcome to WatchMojo, and today we’ll be looking at the most egregious miscarriages of justice, in which individuals were wrongfully convicted and sentenced to death, only to later be exonerated. Our countdown of people who got the death penalty and were later found to be innocent includes Curtis Flowers, Sabrina Butler, Ray Krone, and more. While it is clearly a sensitive topic, we’d like to know your thoughts on whether these examples make a case for abolishing the death penalty. Share them respectfully in the comments below.
