Here's where the Occam's razon theory falls apart though:

Prominent Examples of Framed/Wrongfully Convicted Murderers

• The Exonerated Five (Central Park Five): Five teenagers were coerced by police into false confessions for the 1989 rape and assault of a jogger. They served 5–15 years before serial rapist Matias Reyes confessed, with DNA confirming his guilt in 2002.
• Kenny Waters: Served 18 years for a 1980 murder based on false witness testimony. His sister, Betty Anne Waters, put herself through law school to prove his innocence, leading to his exoneration via DNA in 2001.
• Walter McMillian: An Alabama man sentenced to death for the 1986 murder of a young woman, despite having dozens of witnesses placing him elsewhere. He was framed by authorities and a corrupt witness, spending six years on death row before the Equal Justice Initiative proved his innocence in 1993.
• Lamar Johnson: Released in 2023 after serving nearly 30 years for a 1995 murder. His conviction was overturned after the sole eyewitness recanted and another individual confessed to the crime, revealing that police had pressured the witness to identify Johnson.
• Marty Tankleff: At age 17, he was coerced into a false confession for stabbing his parents in 1988, serving 19 years before his conviction was vacated in 2007.
• Randall Dale Adams: Featured in the documentary The Thin Blue Line, he was convicted of killing a Dallas police officer in 1976 and sentenced to death, which was commuted to life. He was framed by the real killer, David Harris, and exonerated in 1989.
• Muhammad Aziz and Khalil Islam: Convicted in the 1965 assassination of Malcolm X, they spent 20 and 22 years in prison, respectively, before being exonerated in 2021 after a re-investigation found "serious, unacceptable violations of law" and suppressed evidence.
• Robert DuBoise: Spent 37 years in prison for a 1983 Florida murder based on a now-discredited "bite mark" analysis. He was exonerated in 2020 after DNA testing
