Your assumptions are idiotic to the point of trolling. This is why I normally don't even argue with people who can't help but frame the other side's position in such a dishonest manner.
1) We are not talking about a 1 in a billion chance of an innocent man being executed. We're probably much closer to 1 out of 40.
2) Again, and for the last time: WE ARE NOT DECIDING BETWEEN EXECUTION OR GOING FREE, so stop talking as if anyone we don't execute will be out raping kids tomorrow. We are talking about either execution or prison (your inability to acknowledge this simple distinction is a big part of what makes you a dishonest troll).
If you want to put a dollar value on an innocent man's life and make your stupid EV calculation, go ahead. Just remember, that life could be your own one day.
