The question isnt whether you support an innocent person being killed. The question is are you prepared to accept the execution of innocents, which is the somewhat inevitable consequence of having capital punishment. Given that no system is infallible, you either support capital punishment and accept the reality of innocent people being executed. Or, you don't accept the execution of innocent people in which case you cannot support capital punishment. You cannot support capital punishment without accepting that innocent people will be executed.
Lookout at least has the strength of his convictions (if you'll pardon the pun).
It is not just a moral dilemma for society. It is a moral dilemma for you, as a member of that society and for you as a voting citizen.
