I would be all for it IF it would be carried out swiftly. Which will never happen.
Yes, there is and will always be a small % of people wrongly convicted who have to die; then it comes down to the question is losing one life worth saving others?
I do think swift executions would be a deterrent and violent crime levels would drop; however there are many people not afraid to die, to whom this would probably be what they are seeking.
With that in mind, I propose that instead of being put to death, they are put into extreme torture situations. If you ask someone "not afraid to die" what they are afraid of, I'd wager many say torture or dying in a painful, drawn-out way.
Extreme torture would likely be a great deterrent and in the unfortunate cases where they have the wrong person, while they will be put through quite an ordeal, they still have a small chance at recovery unlike death.
