Not enough room in the title to put the state name but it's Connecticut.

Hanging would be ultra cheap.

They say that the DP is no deterrent, yet look at how they grasp at any straw to escape the noose!

It will take $1.3 million more to put Steven Hayes on death row than to keep him in prison for the rest of his life, according to Hayes' lawyers.

Not if THEY work pro-bono on the appeals...

This is exactly why I oppose the death penalty. Cheaper to let them rot in prison.

Definitely something in the water up there in Connecticut. The EPA needs to check it out.

Stupid ruling by the judge. (And much stupider for the prosecution to ask for that ruling.) If the defendant was allowed to argue this, the jury wouldn’t buy it for a second. Now, it is almost guaranteed that an appellate court will reverse and send the case back for another trial.

[equalitybeforethelaw]

I believe this is the only time a liberal ever considers cost. BTW, the reason for the higher cost is due to liberal demands for endless judicial reviews of sentence.

Bullets are cheap.

[JRios1968]

One bullet through the dude’s noggin is very cheap...the clean-up might cost a bit more.
