looks at exonerations and identifies factors which led to wrongful convictions, such as unreliable witnesses. The exoneraton rate is significantly higher in cases were DNA testing can be used to detemine guilt or innocence.

To gather supporting facts against capital punishment, you can conduct research using various trustworthy sources. Start by searching for articles and websites that present arguments against capital punishment. Use keywords such as "arguments against capital punishment," "reasons to oppose the death penalty," or "cons of capital punishment."

One reliable source you can start with is Google Scholar, which provides access to academic articles and publications. You can also visit reputable news outlets, such as BBC, CNN, or The Guardian, and search for articles about the subject.

To evaluate the credibility of the sources you find, consider the following:

1. Authority: Check if the author or organization behind the source has expertise in the field of criminal justice or related areas.
2. Objectivity: Look for sources that present a balanced view and provide evidence to support their arguments.
3. Currency: Make sure the sources are up-to-date, as information and statistics regarding capital punishment may change over time.
4. Peer-reviewed articles: These often indicate higher credibility since they have been reviewed by experts in the field.
5. Official reports: Government reports or international organizations' publications that present research on capital punishment can be reliable sources.

Once you have gathered supporting facts from credible sources, you can compile them into your writing, making sure to properly cite the sources you used. Consider structuring your essay by presenting your arguments against capital punishment and supporting them with factual evidence from your research.

Remember, presenting a well-rounded argument often involves acknowledging counterarguments and addressing them in your essay. This will demonstrate your understanding of the topic and increase the strength of your argument.

It is also important to note that the information I provided is general advice on conducting research and forming an argument. The specific facts and evidence you use will depend on the sources you find during your research.
