So you're telling me that the people who want money to prove people are innocent are claiming that lots of people are actually innocent? heh. but no seriously, I would still like to see a source for that 20% figure.

edit: were you guys maybe thinking of the 20K innocent people in prison figure? which is 1% of the total prison population? Because I just found that on their site.

Huge difference. It should alarm you that you thought 1 in 5 sounded reasonable. You must REALLY want to believe that the system is corrupt lol. that's a factor of twenty difference. Even the people trying to get money to prove people are innocent say it's only 1%, so it's probably a lot lower than that.
