Once again, the death penalty is more expensive than life in prison...

No one is going to make me believe that giving someone a shot  (syringe not bullet) is more expensive than feeding paying for someone's food, clothes, hygienic products, etc.. for 30-40 years.

death sentences have to be held to a higher standard than life on parole, that's why everything has to be reviewed much more closely which results in much more court time -> much higher legal fees, usually payed by the tax payer
