Wikipedia sheds some light on it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wrongful_execution

Doubtful, with todays technology and our progress in DNA it just doesn't happen anymore since the early 2000's. Even in Texas now if the evidence is not concrete then you are not getting death row. It certainly did happen in the past but not anymore, if you are on death row you belong there.
