No, Lady Jane Grey did not deserve to die. She did not even want to become queen in the first place. She was somewhat forced by John Dudley. Mary Tudor was the rightful heir, but Dudley had King Edward VI change the will right before Edward died. The will stated that Edward's sister, Mary, was the next in line of succesion, but Edward was convinced to change it. When Mary rallied and defeated Jane's supporters, Mary was pronounced queen. Jane, as well as her husband Guilford Dudley, (his father is John, and John set up the marrriage between the two) were charged for high treason. She and her husband were both executed by beheading on February 12, 1554.
