I voted "Yes, clearing a person's name is important for the family", simply because if the state has the stones to undertake the responsibility of putting people to death, then it also should have the stones to pony up to a "mistake". This isn't something that you can just look at the facts and say; "Oops...our bad."

As an aside, incidents such as this, is one of the many reasons that I went from being a staunch supporter of the death penalty, to doing a complete 180 degree reversal in opinion. That's for another thread, however.
