That and several states have had cases with innocent persons on death row (Oklahoma City had a forensics lab altering evidence to help convict people for crimes they didnt commit).
I've heard of cases with persons who were executed being found innocent years later- including one guy 50 years later! Hard to end the sentence if the person was put to death by the state. At least if they were jailed there's some restitution in being freed.
