Yesterday the state of Missouri executed Leonard “Raheem” Taylor even though a full investigation of his innocence claim was never conducted. Raheem was convicted of the murder of his girlfriend and her three children in 2004, despite evidence and witnesses putting him nearly 2,000 miles away in California at the time of their deaths.

Since 1973, more than 190 people have been exonerated from death row, including four people in Missouri.
