No. The state shouldn't have the power to execute its own citizens because it will be abused and innocents will be executed as has happened already. Imprison them, sure. Not kill them because killing them is something you can't undo.
What may seem 100% right now may not in the future. Lots of people who were put on death row were later freed after DNA testing became available. These were innocents that in your 30 day window system would of been executed.
How is that moral? What good does executing someone do? It is not a deterrent. We know we have executed people who were innocent. It costs the taxpayer money.
