Because this is obviously an attempt to influence the public and is based on an actual case, it should get all the facts correct. The fact is the person about whom this is based was white not black which matters because there are far more black men on death row and that have been executed compared to their percentage in the population. Because of that the writers are obviously trying to influence the race issue and it's not needed based on the case.
In the case it's based on, there was a group that stated it was based on flawed science and the man should have gotten a new trial, but unfortunately it was not found out until many years after he had been executed and it was not the only evidence against him. Even with that, execution is the ultimate penalty against a person and it should only be done with the greatest of care which I think the show does a good job of showing.
