Of 3,100 exonerations tracked by the registry, women made up only 8 percent.
But of the 280 exonerations received by women, 205 of them were “no crime” exonerations, that is, exonerations granted in a case where, ultimately, no crime was committed. That’s 73 percent of all the cases—an astonishing number. And that alone should give prosecutors great pause in terms of how they are approaching these cases. In cases where a crime was committed women who played accomplice or secondary roles were often more harshly charged and punished than the men who committed the crime at the center of their case.
