  WRONGLY CONVICTED --- Kirk Bloodsworth speaks during a press conference in Annapolis, Md., in late January about state legislation to replace the death penalty with prison sentences of life without parole. Bloodsworth was wrongly convicted of the rape and murder of a 9-year- old Rosedale, Md., girl in 1985, but in 1993 DNA evidence exonerated him. Since then he has devoted his life to ending the death penalty. photo by CNS/Owen Sweeney III, Catholic Review
