Chances are more than likely that someone in death row is/was innocent and will be/was executed. With advances in forensic sciences such as DNA evidence, many incarcerated people have been exonerated for being wrongfully accused, some have even been in jail for decades before being exonerated.

"The Death Penalty Information Center (U.S.) has published a list of 8 inmates "executed but possibly innocent".[5] At least 39 executions are claimed to have been carried out in the U.S. in the face of evidence of innocence or serious doubt about guilt.[6]"
