As the Innocence Project closes in on the release of their 200th wrongly convicted client- many of them facing life if not death sentences- from prison, on the basis of DNA evidence. You might think the accomplishment would spark a debate on capital punishment. Well you'd be wrong. ( Inter Press)

Umm... the article you linked to seemed to say that the success of the Innocence Project 'was' sparking a debate on capital punishment.
True, it hasn't overturned it yet, but it is causing more and more people to change their minds.

I ought to know since I wrote the article. Better
terminology might be sparking a national debate. Maybe when the Innocence Project clears the 200 mark there will be more coverage on the issue.
