I’m against capital punishment but you’re way off track here, missing the forest for the trees lol
you act like every case could go either way at any time. There are many where their crimes are unquestionable. In that case, is nitrogen more humane than keeping them locked in a box until they die? Sucking up funds that could help actual innocent people in need? That is the point being made here
It’s only cheaper because of the enormous costs and inefficiencies baked into our justice system. The costs of executing someone come down to court costs, not the tangible resources that the prisoner takes up.
Funny enough, a lot of these appeals and investigations only cost so much and go on for so long because of the initial poor quality of police actions.
It’s like being released after 20 years on DNA evidence that was never checked initially, or where someone was convicted of rape but never positively identified by the accuser. A procedural fuckup costs millions blown in court, prison, and settlement costs.
So your argument is that we should make state sanctioned murder faster and have fewer appeals? Perhaps those low quality Police officers should just be empowered to… oh fuck we already did that

Once again: it is cheaper to house a prisoner for life than to execute one.

Yeah… except the mistakes look like slam dunks. The very definition of a false positive.
