What is a DNA exoneration? According to The Innocence Project, "it is a case in which post-conviction DNA testing  results were central to establishing the innocence of the wrongfully  convicted individual, i.e., the DNA testing results were dispositive of  actual innocence and central to vacating the conviction and/or  dismissing the indictment. The indictment must have been dismissed or  the defendant pardoned on the grounds of innocence or acquitted at a  retrial." 

What are the statistics? 365 DNA exoneration cases in the U.S. (2019)
