In many cases, guilt is not certain, only proved beyond a reasonable doubt. Lifetime imprisonment can be reversed if a mistake is realized, but death can't.
Even given a hypothetical case where the evidence is so damning and guilt is fairly concrete, the execution of another human should be a punishment reserved for when we have no other option.
