this implies that being in prison, for your entire life, is not a harsh punishment. i guess i can't really say for sure, but that's probably misleading. you also seem to be using the cost of taking care of prisoners as if it's an argument in favor of the death penalty. well, shit, it's cheaper than the death penalty.

"Capital cases are expensive because the trials tend to take longer, they typically require more lawyers and more costly expert witnesses, and they are far more likely to lead to multiple appeals."



Uhhmmmm... I was attempting to restate another person's position as I understood it, not IMPLY anything.


I suspect you are projecting your own misgivings onto my post.

If you wanted to know how I felt about the death penalty all you had to do was ask. I am against it.
