A Really Good Reason to Abolish the Death Penalty in CA: It's too damn Expensive
Edited on Mon Jun-20-11 07:37 PM by TNLib
Taxpayers have spent $4 billion since 1978 on California's capital punishment system -- and with only 13 executions to show for it.

That's about $308 million per execution.

Not only is the Death Penalty immoral but It's expensive as hell. I think this is a solid reason that most tax payers can get behind to abolish the Death Penalty in this country.
