Costs between $25,000 and $50,000 to keep someone in jail, so that's a million dollars at the very minimum over twenty years, which someone will likely live at least three times that long in prison.

Make sure the trial is full and complete, but make it swift and get it done.

I was amazed when i took capital punishment in college and learned how much more it costed to put someone to death due to "super due process" than it does to simply lock them up.

This is the biggest thing opponents of the death penalty hangs there hats on.
