To hear the bleeding hearts tell it, it costs more to execute the b**tard than to keep him in prison.
I don't see how a needle in the arm costs more than feeding, clothing, sheltering and medically caring for a 19 year old loser who could conceivably live another 50 years or more.
AFAIK, it's not the cost of the needle, it's the cost of the endless frivolous appeals that the bleeding hearts file. For them to complain about the cost is chutzpah reminiscent of the man who murders both his parents and then begs the court's mercy because he's an orphan.
