Southern huh, not nearly as bad as the Midwest. Can someone find me the article where a Midwest college did DNA testing on the Death Row inmates of a Federal Penitentiary who's cases were pre-DNA testing?
They found that 15% were innocent.
Did the State say OMG! WE MUST test all the State Death Rows! Call the President?
No, in fact they said, stop, you cannot test any other prisons, and we don't want this report published, we don't want this study continued. Fortunately they did publish with what they had.
Did the Feds go OMG! WE MUST adopt this procedure immediately!
No... all states and the Feds said by their actions "we know we are murdering innocents, we like it, its fun and we are going to keep doing it, shut-up and sit down, shine these jack-boots".
When Dubya was in Tex as gov he often disallowed DNA testing on death row inmates to prove innocence when it was in question to keep them from being murdered by the state.
