Fabs, the number of people who have been convicted of serious crimes and released when DNA evidence proved them innocent is over 200. I don't believe that number (200) is for Illinois alone- I believe it's nationwide.
I have also heard that 100 or more of that 200 were on death row, or doing life on a murder conviction.
The Innocence Project is the outfit that has been pushing the DNA testing on those cases.
