Pittsburgh Tribune-Review: "For years, they were confined, ordered to await death by the state's needle or God's hand.
One man was incarcerated for 18 years for a rape and beating. DNA later proved his brother committed the crimes.
Another survived seven execution dates. He was finally acquitted in 2003 of the murder of a New Orleans hotel executive after the lead prosecutor confessed on his deathbed that he withheld crucial blood evidence in the case.
During the past year, Daniel Bolick, once a death penalty advocate, listened to their accounts of wrongful convictions, crushed lives and struggles to return to society after they were finally cleared of crimes prosecutors could no longer insist they committed."
