On Thursday, the Death Penalty Information Center added 11 previously unidentified cases to their list of people who have been sentenced to death and later found innocent, bringing the number of death row exonerations in the United States up to 185 since 1973. Among them is a man from Billings, Montana, named Gary Radi who was sentenced to death for the 1975 abduction and murder of a Safeway clerk and later found not guilty in a new trial. Radi is the first death row exoneration in Montana recognized by DPIC. Go to mtinnocenceproject.org/death-penalty-information-center-adds-montanan-to-death-row-exonerees-list/ to read more!
