I disagree wrt reasonableness. It’s just too big a leap. There are a lot of crimes, and not many land you on death row.

Hoo boy, welcome to the history of the United states.
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?
