<div>I guess this is some kind of milestone...But not all these cases are death penalty cases. But the question is obvious: if this many are exonerated by DNA, how many on death row or imprisoned for other crimes are innocent who do not have DNA available to prove or disprove their innocence?
</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Likely a much larger number!</div>
