I don't think execution is a punishment I really want governments to have, so I'm generally against capital punishment.  However, I do think he's on to something with regard to a false accusation carrying the same level of punishment as the crime they falsely accuse someone of.

Nah treat them for what they are, wasting police time and resources...  
It would seem manifestly unfair for a false accusation of murder for example to get 20 years to life...

But the victims of the false accusation will probably have a right of redress through the civil courts
