Exonerations: National Registry of Exonerations

More Deceptions:
The "Exonerated", as defined by the National Registry of Exonerations (NRE)
Dudley Sharp, independent researcher, death penalty expert, former opponent, 832-439-2113, Houston, Texas, CV at bottom
 
Preface
 
For, nearly, 30 years, the claims of the "innocent"/"exonerated" from the NRE, for the Death Penalty Information Center (DPIC) and/or the Innocence Projects (IP), have been a matter of those groups, and others, redefining both the "innocent" and the "exonerated", as if they had redefined lie as truth, as has been well known for over 20 years (2,3).
 
Details/Proof
 
My REPLY in red. The quoted material is from the NRE's definition of "exonerated" (1), with BOLD, my emphasis on NRE quotes.
 
The majority of reasons for calling a former inmates "exonerated" needs no designation "as based upon innocence" (1).
 
"(The inmate) . . . (2) (not a fn) received.
(i) a complete pardon by a governor or other competent authority, whether or not the pardon is designated as based on innocence," REPLY: No proof of actual innocence required (2).
 
"or (ii) an acquittal of all charges factually related to the crime for which the person was originally convicted, in a court of the jurisdiction in which the person was convicted," REPLY: No proof of factual innocence required (2).
 
"or (iii) a dismissal of all charges related to the crime for which the person was originally convicted, by a court or by a prosecutor with the authority to enter that dismissal." REPLY: No proof of factual innocence required (2).
 
"The pardon, acquittal, or dismissal must have occurred after evidence of innocence became available . . . " REPLY: But, the pardon, acquittal or dismissal need not be based within proof of factual innocence (2).
 
 ". . .  that either (i) was not presented at the trial at which the person was convicted; or (ii) if the person pled guilty, was not known by the defendant and the defense attorney at the time the plea was entered. The evidence of innocence need not be an explicit basis for the official act that exonerated the person." REPLY: " The evidence of factual innocence (2) need not be an explicit basis for the official act that exonerated the person."
 
In other words, like The Death Penalty Information Center (2,3), 71-83% of the NRE's cases, may have no proof of factual innocence (1, 2,3), as detailed, above, as here (1,2,3).
 
Ask the NRE, the IPs and the DPIC the number of factually innocent they have proven, using the fact checking model (2).
