I don't like drugs. I do like to back up my claims with sources though:

People aren't just shot in the head by the judge. Death penalty is expensive.

Of course any TRIAL is expensive and if they win life imprisonment, you STILL have to pay all those trial costs.Im talking about the expenses to keep the person alive versus the cost to kill them not all the lawyer bills.Plus that study is almost 40 years old, you think anything has changed from 89 cuz?
