Probably many of them have been claiming it for so long they have themselves convinced they actually are innocent. I think if the DNA is there and the evidence is concrete then capital punishment is the way to go. None of this paying taxes out of our asses so we can house and feed some piece of crap like Michael Rafferty and give him a right to life. Screw him, he has forfeited his right to life imo.
