Should someone who is guilty of murder and was proven to be mentally ill at the time of the murder be executed?
If the perpetrator was found guilty -but- at the same time was also found mentally incompetent to understand the consequences of their action, it is EXTREMELY unlikely that they would have received the death penalty. DISCUSSION: The KEY to the matter is; "Was the 'mental illness' severe enough to impair their reasoining to the point that they did not understand the consequences of their actions?" If the perpetrator was suffering from only a 'lower level' mental problem but still was found competent to understand his actions, then, yes, under those circumstances they could receive a sentence of death.
