Murder is defined as: "a crime of murder is the UNLAWFUL killing of a human being, especially with malice aforethought"
Capital Punishment (where allowed) would by it's very nature be LAWFUL. There is typically no malice, it's a perfunctory performance of the act. It is a homicide - the killing of a human being by another human being, but it is not "murder".
