Roberto Miranda

Roberto Miranda is a former death-row prisoner whose case appears in the Death Penalty Information Center's U.S. innocence records. The database places the capital conviction in Nevada in 1982 and the exoneration in 1996, an interval of 14 years.

Capital conviction and exoneration

The 14-year span between conviction and exoneration is retained as structured data because time on death row is one of the most useful dimensions for comparing wrongful-capital-conviction cases. It can be read alongside state, era, later court action and the broader innocence record without reducing a complex case to a single headline.

What this production pass records

The page can be deepened later with court opinions, prosecutor filings, innocence-project records and contemporaneous reporting. Those additions should attach to the same stable canonical ID rather than creating a second page for the same person.

Place in the graph

This is a contextual justice-system profile, not a Rogue/criminal profile. It is public and indexable because the exoneration is historically significant, while remaining excluded from the criminal People catalogue.
