But the death penalty is well established to be significantly more expensive than life. It’s not like we immediately take them out back and shoot them in the head.
It’s expensive because of the means of execution (and investigation to determine qualifying fault) and we should be applying the required amount of investigation time FOR ALL CRIMES that put people behind bars, not JUST people sentenced to death.
I’d rather spend the money to insure someone actually deserves to die or be in prison rather than have questions AT ALL surrounding the potential of an innocent person being sent to prison or executed.
The amount of innocent people in prison is ludicrous and the amount of people in prison for completely asinine and incompetent laws is beyond ridiculous.
Death sentences are expensive because of all the automatic appeals and other legal shit that happens. The means of execution is a pittance compared to legal and court fees.
You’re all over the place. Your first post was complaining about money being spent on a housing a prisoner for life and death would be cheaper. Now you’re arguing that every investigation (presumably that results in jail time) should have the same level of rigor (and high cost) as death penalty cases.
So which is it? Are you willing to spend whatever is necessary to seek justice while also allowing for every avenue for the innocent or are you arguing for the lowest cost law enforcement penalty to save tax dollars?
