Because a wrongful conviction is only officially counted when it is overturned, it is impossible to know the exact number of innocent people currently sitting in jail for murder.

A woman's body lay face-up in a small clearing. She had been almost completely burned. Her clothing had melted into her skin. Much of her face was unrecognizable. Around her lay scorched personal belongings, including an umbrella, rubber boots, fragments of clothing, and two plastic bottles that smelled strongly of gasoline.
