The observation was that death row represents the highest level of scrutiny, and still had 10% false positives for guilt.

Is there any argument that less-scrutinized cases would have a lower level of false convictions?

The 10% claim has been refuted.

What % is it?

Read other replies. I don't think we have enough data to give an opinion exact number but less than 1

Why would you expect those cases to have lower rates of false conviction than normal cases?
