What we currently do can be reversed. What you're proposing can't.

NOTHING we currently do can be reversed.
If someone wrongly convicted serves one hour in prison, but is then exonerated, that punishment cannot be reversed, for they will never get that hour of their life back. I hardly see how you can classify someone exonerated after 20 years in prison as having their punishment "reversed."
And, as I've already stated, the SCOTUS has upheld the death penalty, and it is, quite clearly, not reversible.
