And then I'd hire Dan Webb to keep my lily-white ass out of prison.

Huh? 50% of Death row was freed, or 50% of those people fortunate enough for there to be evidence and who asked for the tests were freed? the people wanting DNA tests probably have a higher percentage of "actually innocent" than the general prison population.
