If you have your entire natural life to prove your innocence how can that be LESS than the chance you have of proving your innocence before the state kills you.

What happens if junk science used to convict someone is disproven after he is dead?  What about if the person who actually committed the crime confesses?  What if new technology or evidence is discovered?

If you were innocent would you take take your chances on death row or with life in prison?

 Because of the amount of scrutiny given to death penalty cases.  Yes I would like my chances of being found innocent if I were on death row.
