I read an article that public support for the death penalty is at a nadir

and this makes me glad.

However, one thing that has me scratching my head: Many people have been exonerated from capital convictions due to the fact that death row cases have on-going scrutiny.

Will that same level of scrutiny remain if/when the DP is abolished or will people who have been unfairly convicted languish in prison for lack of attention to their cases?

This is NOT to argue that being on death row is preferable but I could see how innocent people would suddenly be forgotten and that would be a travesty of a different order.

1. That IS great news. As for your question, it's hard to say. The DP did make it more urgent to try to

prove someone's innocence. But I have a feeling that the effort to exonerate innocent people who have lost their freedom wrongfully, will continue.
