The size of the US list is concerning - and it isn't even complete. There's also the possibility of executions that haven't been further looked into where the person may have also been innocent.
In your first link, I'm seeing pre-execution exonerations, not innocents executed. In your second, I'm seeing that some people have "doubts." Not exactly the same as "the wrong person was definitely executed."
I'm aware of death penalty abolitionists who argue that innocents have been executed. I'm not aware of persuasive evidence. If it were trivial to find some, surely you would have just posted a link instead of an insult.
It takes only a small amount of induction to conclude that given the number of death row exonerations pre-execution, there almost certainly have been innocent persons executed.
If you hold out for conclusive proof, you will probably not find it, as it's a bit of a fool's errand to attempt to exonerate a dead man when you could devote that effort to exonerating one who the state has not yet committed manslaughter upon.

Wrong, many studies show a deterrent effect.

What? Of course it does.
> If he turns out to be innocent, they can always execute someone else to save face. Not the ones responsible for his execution, of course.
This hardly deserves a response.
