Introduction

Thenewsabouttheastoundingaccuracyoffelonyconvictionsin theUnitedStates,deliveredbyJusticeScaliaandJoshuaMarquis inthepassageabove,wouldbecauseforrejoicingifitweretrue. Imagine.Only27factuallywrongfelonyconvictionsoutofevery 100,000!Unfortunately,itisnottrue,asthedatadevelopedin thisarticledemonstratewithreasonablecertainty.

I.PaleyitesandRomillists

Peoplewhothinkabouttheproblemofwrongfulconviction oftenfallintotwocamps,whichwemightlabelPaleyitesand Romillists.Paleyites,whomIhavenamedaftertheearly exponentofthisposition,the18th-centuryproto-utilitarianthe Rev.WilliamPaley,believethateventhoughitiswrongtoconvict aninnocentperson,suchconvictionsareinevitablefor maintaininganappropriatelevelofsecurityforthepublicin general.Romillists,whomIhavenamedaftertheearly19thcenturyreformistSirSamuelRomilly,havesuchahorrorof convictingtheinnocentthattheyarewillingtoproposechanges towhateversystemexiststobetterprotecttheinnocent,evenif theymightmaketheconvictionofthetrulyguiltymoredifficult.

Whatneithersidehasagoodhandleon,however,isthemagnitude offactuallywrongfulconvictionandwrongfulacquittal.

Traditionally,acertainstripeofPaleyitehasalsodeniedthat wrongfulconvictionshappenatall,oriftheyhappen,theyhappen

sorarelythatworryingaboutthemislikeworryingaboutbeing struckbyameteorite.Thereasonsassignedforthisassumed near-perfectionhavegenerallybeenthenumerouslayersof filtrationinvolvedinthepre-trialsystem,andthegeneralfairness oftheadversarytrialitself,withitsformalrequirementthatthe prosecutionproveguiltbeyondareasonabledoubt.

SuchapositionisverydifficulttotakeintheeraofDNA exonerations.Difficult—butnotimpossible,becauseof insufficientinformationonactualfalseconvictionrates.

II.AnEmpiricallyJustifiedFactualWrongful ConvictionRate:TheCaseofCapitalRapeMurdersinthe1980s

Toderiveaminimumfactualwrongfulconvictionrate,wemust haveanumeratorandadenominator:thedenominatorto representacertainreferencesetofconvictions,andthe numeratortorepresentthenumberoffactuallywrongful convictionsinthatset.Ihavechosentoincludeinthenumerator onlyDNAexonerationssinceitiseasytoestablishthemasbeing closetoindisputablecasesoffactuallywrongfulconviction.

Toobtainapropersample,onemustunderstandthatthecasesin whichDNAexonerationsoccurarebydefinitionnotarandom sampleofallcasesofcriminalconvictions.Virtuallyallsuch exonerationsoccurincasesofseriousfelony,oftencapitalfelony, whereatrialresultedinaconviction.DNAexonerationscanbe dividedintofourgroups:capitalcases,non-capitalhomicide cases,non-capitalrape/sexualassaultcase,andothers.Themost obviousgrouptoconcentrateoninsearchingforadenominator iscapitalcases.Thisisbecausethereisaknownnumberof capitalcasesintheUnitedStatessincethereestablishmentofthe

deathpenaltyin1976thatculminatedinDNAexonerations. From1977to1999,thatnumberwas14.Duringthatsame period,5,968capitalsentenceswereimposed.Thesefiguresgive anabsoluteminimumfactualerrorrateincapitalsentences imposedof.23percent.

Butofcoursethisdoesnotrepresenttheactualrateoffactually wrongfulconviction.Infact,itisgrosslyunderstatedbecausewe areusingthewrongdenominator.TheDNAexonerationscan onlyoccurinthesubsetofcapitalconvictionsincaseswhereit isreasonabletobelievethatbodilysourcesofDNAmighthave beenlefttoprovidethebasisforincludingorexcludinga defendantasthepossibleperpetrator.Generally,incapitalcase exonerations,thishasmeant“rape-murders,”generally homicideswherethevictimisraped,thenkilled.Infact,13of the14DNAexonerationsincapitalcasesinvolvedrape-murders.

Boththenumeratorandthedenominatormustbechosen carefullybothwithrespecttothekindofdefendantsweare lookingatandthetimeperiodchosenforexamination.Twelve trialsofthe13capitalrape-murderdefendantsthatresultedin factuallywrongfulconvictionstookplacebetween1979and 1996.Twoofthe12trialsareclearlyoutliers—the1979trialof DennisWilliamswasthreeyearsbeforethenextlatertrial,and thefirsttrialofRayKrone(1992)wasthreeyearsafterthenext earliertrial.Sowewilllimitourselvestothe11casestriedfrom 1982to1989.Inaddition,wewillreducethenumberbyhalfan exonerationtocushionagainstcriticismthatitisnotbeyond everydoubtthateverypersonexoneratedbyDNAwasfactually innocent.

Sowestartwithanumeratorof10.5forthereferenceperiod.We havenotyetproperlyderivedourdenominator,however.DNA exonerationscanonlyoccurinthoserape-murdercaseswhere usableDNAconnectedtotheperpetratorwasavailablewhen requestedfortesting.Anexaminationofthecapitally-sentenced casesfrom1982to1989revealedapproximately479rapemurderconvictions.Butthatstilloverstatesthedenominator, becauseexonerationscanonlyoccurincaseswhereDNAsurvived forlatertesting.Inwhatpercentageofcasesfromthe1980sdid thatoccur?

SofarasIknow,thereisonlyoneorganizationinthecountry withrecordsofsufficientexperiencetogiveadefensibleanswer tothisquestion:theInnocenceProjectatCardozoLawSchool. In2006,IcontactedtheInnocenceProjectandaskedthemto determinethepercentageofcasestriedinthereferencetime period,whererequestsforDNAevidenceweremadeandno usableDNAsurvivedbecauseeitheritwasnevercollected,orwas discarded,destroyed,ordegraded.

Theresultswerethat77of212casesdidnotyieldusableDNA, arateof36.3percent.Inthatset,therewere15rape-murders,of which5(33.3percent)yieldednousableDNA.Althoughthe rape-murdersetissmaller,Ihaveelectedtousethe33.3percent rateinanabundanceofcaution.

Thedenominatorof479forcapitalrape-murderconvictions, whichwepreviouslyderived,mustthereforebereducedby33.3 percenttoaccountforthecaseswithnousableDNA,yieldinga denominatorof319.Using10.5asthenumerator,aspreviously explained,weobtainatrueminimuminnocencerateforrapemurderof3.3percent.

Sotherewehaveit—aconservativeminimumfactualinnocence rate.Thequestionimmediatelycomestomind:Whatcanthistell usaboutwrongfulconvictionratesingeneral?

Beforeaddressingthisquestion,however,wemustexamineone moreissueinregardtoourinitialreferenceset—capitalrapemurderconvictionsinthe1980s.Wehavederivedaminimum factualinnocencerate.What,ifanything,canbesaidaboutthe maximumfactualinnocencerate?Wehaveafloor.Whatcanwe sayaboutaceiling?

Westartoffbeingreasonablysurethattherearearound319 capitalrape-murdercaseswithpotentiallyusableDNAevidence. WealsoknowthatmanyofthemhadtheDNArequestedand analyzed.Inthose319cases,afewmaybesoclearonfactual guiltthatDNAanalysismightnothavebeenrequested.Butin mostcases,whicharenotsoclear,DNAexclusionisthegreatest post-convictionhopeandgenerallyworthrequesting.Itwouldbe quitesurprisingifcapitalpost-convictioncounselhadfailedto requestDNAtestinginanythingclosetohalfofthe319capital rape-murdercasesinthereferenceset.SoIbelievewecanconcludethattheceilingisnotdoublethefloor,butsubstantiallyless. Ibelievewecanputareasonablemaximumataround5percent.

Sowehaveanempiricalminimumof3.3percentandalikely maximumofaround5percentforfactuallywrongfulconvictions incapitalrape-murdersinthe1980s.

III.Implicationsofa3–5PercentFactual WrongfulConvictionRateforBothPaleyites andRomillists

Thesefiguresareguaranteednottomakemanypeoplehappy. Whateverthedepth(orshallowness)ofone’semotionalormoral responsetoa3–5percentfactualinnocenceerrorrate,itishard tocharacterizeitas deminimis ortofairlysayitrepresentsa “remote”possibilityofconvictionoftheinnocent.Paleyitesoften dependuponsuchassertionstoestablishthatthereisno systemicproblemofwrongfulconviction.

SomeRomillistsmayalsofindthemselvesunhappy.Wecan usefullydividemodernRomillistsbetweenanti-deathpenalty advocatesandInnocenceNetworkactivists.Someanti-death penaltypeoplebelievethatemphasisonexecutionoftheinnocent maygetinthewayofglobalabolitionofthedeathpenaltyforthe casesoftheobviously(factually)guilty.Many,however,willuse innocencedataasatoolandwouldliketheratetobeashighas possible,perhapsashighas10percent,tobeacredibleclaim.

InnocenceNetworkpeoplearelikelytobemoreconflicted.Some mayregardthewrongfulconvictionfigureasaboutwhatthey

Butfornow,Icanonlysay,thefactsseemtobethefacts.

IV.TheFactualErrorRateforCapitalRapeMurdersinthe1980s:GeneralizingtoOther CrimesandOtherTimes

Thequestionnowbecomeswhetherwecangeneralizethisrate rangetoothersetsofcriminalconvictions.

Itseemslikelyforpeoplewhobeginponderingthequestion ofwrongfulconvictiontoaskquestionslike,“Whatdoyou supposethenumberoffactuallywrongfulconvictionsper1,000

Whichbringsustothosenon-capitallysentencedmurderswhere themainissueisperpetratoridentity.Ifthefactualwrongful convictionrateincapitalnon-rapemurdersseemslikelytobe aboutthesameasincapitalrape-murders,canwegeneralizethis ratetoanalogousnon-capitalmurders?

Thefirstquestiontodealwithis,whatdowemeanby“analogous” non-capitalmurders?Justaswelimitedthesetofrapesforwhich therewasastrongargumentforextensionto“strangerrapes,” similarconsiderationscallforlimitingthesetofmurdersfor whichextensionseemsstronglyjustifiedtothosemanifesting particularcallousnessorbrutalityanalogoustocapitally sentencedmurders.Wecanhope,atleast,thatcapitally sentencedcaseswouldbethecaseswherejurieswouldregard themselvesasespeciallyobligatedtobesureofguiltgiventheir roleintheimpositionofthedeathsentence.Ifthatisthecase,it

Thequestionnowbecomeswhetherwecangeneralize

convictionsisgenerally?”Therearetworeasonstoresistthe temptationtoponderageneralaverage:first,weareunlikelyto everbeabletoderiveitveryspecifically,and,second,itwouldn’t tellusanythingveryimportantifweknewit.Bothfactsare largelytheproductofacommonreality,whichisalsointimately involvedintheissueofwhatthecapitalrape-murderdatafrom the1980scantellusaboutothercrimesandothertimes:The universeofcriminalconvictionsisalmostcertainlyheavily substructuredinregardtofactualinnocencerates.

First,inregardtoothercapitalmurderprosecutionsresultingin theimpositionofthedeathpenalty,thereseemstobenostrong reasontobelievethattheratewas(oris)significantlylower. RichardA.RosenhasrecentlywrittenthatDNAexonerations shouldbeviewedasproviding“arandomaudit”ofconvictions becausetheyvaryfromotherconvictionsonlybythefortuitous circumstanceofthepresenceoftestableDNA.Whilethis argumentbecomesweakerastheconvictionsetsbecomemore different,itisfairlyrobustregardingcapitalconvictionsgenerally, oratleastthosewhereperpetratoridentityisthemain contestableissue.

Second,inregardtonon-homicide,pre-DNA,rapecases(atleast thestranger-on-strangercasesthataremosttroublinginregardto wrongfulidentificationanalogoustorape-murdercases),itis truethereisoftenvictimtestimonyofidentification,but,given thevagariesofeyewitnessidentification,itisnotclearwhichway thiscuts.Heavyjuryrelianceonidentificationsmightactually raisethefactualwrongfulconvictionrate.Therearenogooddata onthisissuedirectly,butthereisreasontosuspectthatitmaybe high,indeed,higherthanthe3or4percentinnocenceratein thereferencesetundersomeconditions.

seemsreasonabletosuspectthatthefactualinnocenceratein other“analogous”murdercasesmightbeatleastashigh,ifnot higher,thanincapitallysentencedcases.Ontheotherhand, capitaljuriesare“deathqualified,”whichmaygivethemalower decisionthresholdontheissueofguilt.

Inaddition,manymoreofthenon-capitalmurderconvictionsare theresultofpleas.Pleaswould,perhaps,beexpectedtorepresent lessunsafeconvictionsthanverdicts—exceptthatmanynoncapitalmurderconvictionsareobtainedintheshadowofa potentialdeathsentence.Wealsoknowthatsomeofthesepleas tookplaceincaseslaterresultinginexonerationbyDNA.Allinall, thereseemsnogoodreasontobelievethatthefactualinnocence ratefornon-capitallysentencedmurderconvictionsproperly “analogous”tocapitalmurder,whenthecentralissueisthe identityofthedefendantastheperpetrator,aresubstantially lowerthanthecapitalrape-murderinnocencerateestablished earlier,anditwouldseemincumbentonthosewhoclaim otherwisetoproffersubstantialreasonsfortheclaimeddifferences, ratherthansimplyinvokinggeneralproblemsofextensionand externalvalidity.

Ihavetriedtogivesomeinformeddiscussionconcerninglikely wrongfulconvictionratesforvarioustypesofcrime.However, suchargumentsabouttheimplicationsof,andextensionsfrom, the3.3percentminimumrateforcapitalrape-murdersinthe 1980sarenecessarilysubjecttofurtherreflectionandresearch. Butnowatleastonesuchwrongfulconvictionratehasbeen established.Archimedesfamouslysaid,“Givemealeverlong enoughandaplacetostand,andIwillmovetheworld.”Further reflectionwillgiveuslongerandbetterlevers,butatleastnowwe haveaplacetostand.
