Part of the damage caused by cases of innocence is that the real killer remains free, and sometimes continues to commit new crimes.

Death row inmates are being punished twice - life on death row (in this case 16 years) and then the execution. Innocence complicates a system already broken even further - no wonder public support is declining.
