Tons of people support life in prison over the death penalty because no one wants to kill an innocent person. But how common is someone falsely accused of a murder? Does it happen often? Being in prison for life while being innocent?

I’ve heard of this happening where someone (who I think was a professional French imposter) did this for a Texan missing boy but I don’t remember the full story. But he thought the parents only accepted him to make them appear innocent. Case isn’t solved, but it had me thinking. What if this happened, and the imposter got a recorded confession and gave it to police? How would it unfold with the case? Would it help or harm the case from closure?
