Unless you know the details of every case, then it's tough to say that technology and DNA have proven every conviction. By that standard, my opinion isn't any more valid though. I'm going to say based on probability that there are some innocent people currently on death row, and as the wikipedia article showed at least 15 since 1992 that have been exonerated which leads me to hazard a guess that some innocent people have died within the last 20 years.
