Actually implementing the death penalty would save millions. These killers live better on death row then the families they killed.
We need to put in a death penalty fast-track.

Yep. In Texas they stay on death row for about 5 years. In Tennessee, they stay on death row until they die of natural causes. Who has the greatest cost?

Funny, the only fast tracked death penalty case in the past quarter century was Tim McVeigh.

"We need to put in a death penalty fast-track."I agree...there's no reason to have 20+ years of Appeals (except to line Lawyers' pockets).
BUT, you will incur the rath of those who claim that innocent will be executed if thorough investigations/appeals are not exhausted.
