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

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

Those trial layers are always trying to save the tax payers money!

It is not better if he does not rot in jail but gets out on appeal. They a guy like this will do anything he wants because he won't be put to death.

I guess I don’t understand all the factors involved. Seems to me that sticking needle in a convict’s arm and pumping some drug concoction (y) into them after 10 years of paying their room and board (X) equals ($X * 10)+ y. While the life sentence is $X * 40 ... or more. Is the y really that expensive?

The only problem is that down the road some idiot or idiots could parole them. They also remain a danger to prison guards and other inmates or really anybody they come in contact with.

I say cut their motors ASAP.

You may say that now, but if what recently happened in AZ happened to someone in your family you may think different. The death penalty is the only sure way to prevent repeat offenders.
