    That doesn't just compare trial costs.
    Death Penalty Cost – Amnesty International USA
    A 2003 legislative audit in Kansas found that the estimated cost of a death penalty case was 70% more than the cost of a comparable non-death penalty case. Death penalty case costs were counted through to execution (median cost $1.26 million). Non-death penalty case costs were counted through to the end of incarceration (median cost $740,000).

    FTR I would be ok if we started implementing Asian and middle Eastern punishment for crime. Lashings, amputation etc. America is far too lenient on criminals.

    Humans constantly trying to justify life...and death. Only an ignorant fool tries to take the judgment of their God and enforce it as their own.

    I get locking up criminals and the sentences. I don't get the death sentence as it is an oxymoron of any religions belief. You decide your fate.the so called books are çlear.
