This is an interesting idea, but is there really such a thing as certainty? I'm sure that those on death row were considered guilty and there was no reasonable doubt in the minds of the jurors (unless all 12 of them were emotional vengeance bags, which does happen), so how much unreasonable doubt can there be before we decide that someone is permanently killed? There aren't appeals after death, after all.

Saddam Hussein should not have been killed. He was guilty of multiple murders, and should have been in prison, but not killed.
This is my stance: Illness, old age, self sacrifice or accident. Outside of these, something has gone terribly wrong.
