Since 1973, in the US over 200 death row prisoners were exonerated and released due to evidence of innocence. This ratio means that for roughly every 8 people executed 1 person on death row has been exonerated.

1 - ministers can now exempt anyone from any law, other than the criminal code
2 - "national interest" designation comes with automatic approval for all other permits - species at risk act, etc (a long term big oil wishlist item)..
