Here on Listverse you’ve already heard of people who were accused of crimes they did not commit, but you may have noticed that we didn’t include anyone who was then given a death sentence. When you look into it, you soon find that there have been hundreds of cases of death row inmates who, it was later discovered, were actually innocent. In fact, in the United States alone this has happened to more than one hundred different people. Unfortunately, some of these were indeed executed; featured on this list, however, are ten who managed to get exonerated before their sentence was carried out.
