"Even people that the Innocence Project gets off the death row are often free because of some point of law, not because they didn't do the crime."

That is simply not true. At all. Often the people freed might be guilty of other, lessor crimes (like drugs or such), but the Innocence Project doesn't get people convicted of death penalty crimes freed on technicalities of law. That is not how they operate.

You may tell yourself that because it lessens the guilt associated with knowing that innocent people have been put to death in the justice system you support, but it isn't a true statement at all. It is just something you tell yourself in order to make yourself feel better about it and not have to think about it.

I would bet a decent amount of money that you cannot point to one person the Innocence Project has gotten freed on "some point of law" that was actually, demonstrably guilty of the crime they were convicted of.
