Not to mention that the Bentley case is the subject of an excellent Elvis Costello song, "Let 'em Dangle" off Spike

The Nitpicker

Another possible miscarriage of justice is the Hanratty case - let's hope that the matter is finally settled soon through the use of DNA testing (his body has been/will be exhumed to carry out the testing). I believe from my study of the case that it will be proved that he did not commit the crime - another reason to oppose the Death Penalty. The problem with this situation is that there is a murderer out there who has never been apprehended or punished while Hanratty's family have suffered the loss of their son/brother/nephew for no reason.
