Clarification: X% of them definitely did not meet the standards of reasonable doubt. - Edit 1

I'm not asking about the credibility of jury verdicts. Assume the prisoners weren't even given trials; the paperwork was forged; whatever. The hypothetical situation is one where we know (absolutely, without a doubt) that X% of prisoners were innocent. So, for instance, if we knew that 1,000,000 out of every 1,000,001 prisoners were definitely innocent, would you still think retrial were the best option?
