There's lots of these kinds of cases, and that's just the ones we've found out about, think about how many are never uncovered (say the person convicted has no friends or relatives, and/or is too uneducated or disenfranchised to put up a fight).

I watched a film recently that reenacted another true-life wrongful conviction, totally worth a watch :
