That's just silly. You act as though putting someone in jail for 30 years and then releasing him after new evidence is found is infinitely better than executing him.

It is. In the first instance the person still has at least part of their life left to them, and the possibility of some sort of compensation / restitution for the miscarriage of justice. In the second instance the person is, well, dead and buried. That's a pretty big difference from my point of view.
