I disagree wrt reasonableness. It’s just too big a leap. There are a lot of crimes, and not many land you on death row.

I disagree wrt reasonableness. It’s just too big a leap. There are a lot of crimes, and not many land you on death row.
The observation was that death row represents the highest level of scrutiny, and still had 10% false positives for guilt.
Is there any argument that less-scrutinized cases would have a lower level of false convictions?
The 10% claim has been refuted.
What % is it?

Why would you expect those cases to have lower rates of false conviction than normal cases?
Hoo boy, welcome to the history of the United states.
