Zero.
Incarcerating an innocent person is a wrong that can be righted. No, you can't give someone back their years spent in jail if they win on appeal, but their name can be cleared and they can be given a second chance at life.
Killing an innocent person is a wrong with no means of recourse, it cannot be undone.
So long as the justice system is imperfect (that is, run by humans) and even moreso when it is systematically biased and at the mercy of politicians, no death penalty can be in place without murdering innocent people which is an offense against justice, morality, and society so great that it should definitively end the practice forever.
When it comes to the (actual) politics, of it......people need to (finally) start reconsidering the benefits of a Prosecutor's high body-count!!!!!
At one time (possibly, even presently, in some States), during our Election-process.....a high body-count was (almost, always).....
.....for Prosecutors!!!!

When it can be proven a Prosecutor (knowingly) ignored critical-evidence.....supporting an Innocence-verdict.....the Prosecutor should be DOING TIME!!!!!
I think "conservatives" (still) consider this....Accepting Responsibility For Your OWN Actions.
