20. 1 In Every 25 Criminals Facing A Death Row Is Actually Innocent
This is a true morbid fact. Around 4% of the criminals who face death row are actually innocent. They have been executed for no fault of theirs. The National Academy of Sciences published a report in 2014 flashing this shocking fact. This report was responsible for unveiling an inefficient side of the justice system. The descending graph of confidence in death row proceedings is another fact that proves the same. So, the US government rarely awards capital punishment and executes only after multiple trials.
