Wow. I had no idea of the prevalence of perjury. Well, I mean I knew that witnesses lie, but I guess I was just in denial about how often those lies lead to false convictions. 22% of those exonerated when perjury was revealed faced execution. WOW. So, how many people have been put to death or spent the remainder of their natural lives in a prison cell because of another person's lie? URGH.

Most Faulty Convictions Are A Direct Result Of Witness Perjury
