Texas is among the top 3 states in terms of death row inmates who were exonerated. The fact that this is the case despite a more streamlined process makes me believe that at least one innocent man has died at the hands of the Texas government. In fact, since 1983 at least 5 men have been put to death in Texas while their guilt was in doubt.
