Another solution is having a no doubt standard needed for the death penalty as opposed to a beyond a reasonable doubt standard.
No doubt standard would require some set elements. DNA + visual recording + electronic records.
I used to be anti death penalty but would be ok with it under a no doubt standard. Not for vengeance but simply society can spend the money on other things instead of spending money housing and feeding individuals who have caused such horrific pain on others.
I hope you realize that meeting that no doubt standard is going to cost a lot of money. The judiciary procedures for death penalty is extremely high, as are all the related costs for death rows & execution. In fact death penalty costs already more than life in prison: https://www.thebalance.com/comparing-the-costs-of-death-pena...
And that's with the current error-prone system. Think of what it would take to ensure that your criteria are met.
So costs is simply not an argument. In fact it's a pretty bad faith one regarding what happens with private prisons and the labor of inmates subjected to slavery (read the 13th amendment if you think slavery is universally abolished). The US wouldn't have the highest rate of incarceration in the world if it didn't make money somehow.
