It might interest you to know that the last person executed in Australia was in fact innocent of the crime for which he was executed. Ballistics has subsequently shown that a prison guard killed another prison guard by accident and it was believed at the time that Ryan had in fact killed the guard. And; the felony murder rule was not applied in this case either.
Also in the last 10 years at least 5 people have been spared of the death penalty for crimes they did not commit in the US. Who knows how many people in the past have been killed for crimes they did not commit there.
So maybe if you were framed for a crime or happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time that attracted the death penalty you might think otherwise. It does happen.
