I admittedly don't know the numbers but I consider myself relatively well informed and I know of no cases at all. The assertion that there are numerous such cases is an over statement based on what I know. All in all though even one such case is enough to persuade me against the death penalty anyways. And I am absolutely sure there has been someone executed wrongly. I have no doubts about that at all. Simple statistics so it is a certainty.
