      No. It’s not about the financial cost. It’s primarily about the possibility of making a mistake. Here, it doesn’t appear to be the case, but even so, like I said, it will still tie up the courts with appeals, when they could be hearing other cases. Just make it a life sentence in the first place and get it over with.

      Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to deal out death in judgement.

        Right so if it isn’t about the financial cost then why bring it up? You have better arguments don’t play a weak one.

        If I believed in the justice of the death penalty it wouldn’t convince me out of it costing more vs life sentences. If I believe the death penalty is unjust it wouldn’t convince me that it was good even if the costs were reversed.
