Abstract Miscarriages of justice and wrongful convictions are a pervasive reality in America's criminal justice system. In this paper we examine news coverage of miscarriages of justice in the death penalty system and the release of death row inmates to understand what we call the public life of exonerations. We examine the way newspapers tell the story of exonerations and the various tilts and tendencies that characterize their presentations. We focus on the five states which, from 1972–2019, had ten or more exonerations. During that period, they were Florida, Illinois, Texas, Louisiana, and Oklahoma. We conclude that the public discourse surrounding exoneration, while providing evidence of the death penalty system's most consequential flaws, serves as much to preserve that system as to challenge it.

无罪还不够:死囚牢房的公开生活
摘要司法和错误定罪的流产是美国刑事司法系统中普遍存在的现实。在本文中,我们研究了死刑制度中关于流产司法的新闻报道以及死刑犯的释放,以了解我们所谓的免罪公共生活。我们研究了报纸讲述无情故事的方式以及代表其报道的各种倾向和倾向。我们关注的是五个州,从1972年至2019年,有十个或以上的免责声明。在此期间,他们分别是佛罗里达州,伊利诺伊州,德克萨斯州,路易斯安那州和俄克拉荷马州。我们得出的结论是,关于死刑的公开讨论,虽然提供了死刑制度最严重的缺陷的证据,但既可以保护死刑制度,又可以挑战死刑制度。
