If I was ever convicted of a crime falsely and given life imprisonment I would definitely choose the death penalty. Once you are on death row you are given many more appeals, free legal help and generally scientists and others will assist in your defense pro bono as well. It would give you the best chance to exonerate yourself.

From a Christian Biblical literalistic point of view, if the death penalty was good enough for Jesus it's good enough for anybody.
