Need help on death penalty project

[Tabata]

I'm looking for a person who was put to death by capital punishment in the United States, but, was found later to be innocent.

Any unique or interesting stories out there? Cheers.

How about Bruno Hauptmann and the Lindbergh baby kidnapping case? Clearly a case of over-zealous prosecutors eager to solve the "Crime of the Century".

AFAIK forensic analysis pretty much confirmed the outcome of that one.

Found this website, it might have what you are looking for.

I wrote a paper on wrongful death penalty convictions and subsequent exonerations some years back, and found this website to be very helpful.

Thanks for everyone’s input.

I’m running out of time on this, so I’m just going to do my thing on Ruben Cantu and get it over with already.

Thanks again.

This a little OT, but remember the "good" ole days when ther was no internet and you had to spend hours in the library doing a paper? Glad those days are gone!
