300 DNA Exonerations, and Counting

In recognition of the 300th DNA exoneration,  the Innocence Project (NY) published an infographic, which is included below.

Note:  The Innocence Project (NY) deals only with DNA cases.  Many other Innocence Projects across the country take cases that are not solely DNA-related, and in which convictions may be based upon false confessions, junk science, perjury, police/prosecutor misconduct, shaken baby misdiagnosis, sloppy medical examiner work, or just plain mistakes, all in the absence of DNA evidence.
