As soon as the death penalty was mentioned, I was waiting for someone to say expense.
With all the legal appeals before its carried out (and that normally means a good ten years on death row) it ends up costing just as much as keeping them in prison for life. And I any case, are you really arguing for the death penalty on the grounds of cost? That the state should sanction murder (and what message does this send out anyway?) just to save a few quid?
