“More prisoners are exonerated from Florida’s death row than anywhere else in America”

June 7, 2019 by Mark Elliott

Insightful, thought-provoking report by Mitch Perry, writing for The Florida Phoenix.

“Florida has more exonerations of death row inmates than any other state in the country (29) – in fact, there’s been one exoneration of a death row prisoner for every three Florida executions over the past four decades.”

…says Mark Elliott, executive director with Floridians for Alternatives to the Death Penalty. “It’s a failed, broken system. And for me, if I supported the death penalty and there’s one innocent person on death row, that would end my support right there.”
