Keeping that murdering SOB in prison for life costs us ALL $$...
It's actually cheaper than executing, since he doesn't automatically get lots of expensive lawyers and appeals for a life sentence.
Don't let anyone [censored] you about any faux "appeal costs." At least in my state, most all of that is done by salaried state public defenders. They're the ones that choose where they devote their time, and anyone who attributes an hourly private attorney fee to their efforts is grossly overestimating the actual cost by several times.

And with this is where the real problems occur.
When I started doing social work, I could not understand why so many people that could not afford attorney's would pass up public defenders. Then as I worked in the system, I realized that many public defenders are not worth having on your team.

But they're still getting paid, and the judges are getting paid, and the courtroom is getting heated or air conditioned, and . . .
