Oh well, good news all around.
👆
And for the liberals in the thread, you really amaze me.
Capital punishment is certainly a good thing, and here is a simple reason why:
Taxes.
It's federal taxes, (our money) that pay for the several hundred thousand dollars that it costs to feed, clothe, and keep a single person incarcerated for the normal terms of a life sentence.
I see no reason why the general public should have to pay to keep a killer alive.
To pay for them to file grievance forms about only having vanilla and not chocolate Hagen Daas ice cream. (ask my step dad, a Sargent at San Quentin prison)
Keeping regular people incarcerated costs us enough space, time, and money as it is....
The murderers and child rapists (IMO) shouldn't be allowed to cause more pain to the general public, and to victims specifically, by having our money go to support their life needs.
And certainly not for a piece of shit like Saddam that we know used mustard gass and killed thousands of his own people and people in
Kuwait.
That's a slap in the face for Iraqi's to have to pay for his necessities.
Wouldn't your energies be wasted better in a thread or protest line to demonstrate your support for the killing of a fetus?
(and they call US hypocrites)

Here we go. Another one.
WRONG!
It costs FAR MORE to execute someone then to keep them in prison for life. Fact.
Google it, then come back.
We'll be waiting for another idiotic excuse as to why capital punishment is good.

A trial wasn't needed. But a showtrial was. With a verdict conveniently postponed to a few days before November midterms in which a party with a history of timing national security "events" to coincide with the political calendar stands to suffer defeat, by an independent judiciary with no ties to the U.S. administration, despite having U.S. advisers and trying Saddam under statutes that were drafted by the U.S.

And which officials in that Administration, who are now in this Administration were in full knowledge of the use of chemical weapons, and continued to maintain diplomatic ties with Iraq.

Of course that's if he isn't a bit too busy listening to Rush, and watching O'Reilly on FOX and preaching with Ted Haggard.. oh that's right Ted's one of those homos now.
If state governments started allowing brand names like Count Chocula or White Lily to get involved, and then allowed a broadcasting company to televise it, it would alleviate some of the financial burden. You could probably get $0.5 million from the corporations and $1.0 million in TV rights per electrocution.
*It sounds stupid (and it is) but when you consider every other damn thing in this country is sponsored or stained by advertising, it makes a little sense*

I'm sorry, exactly how much do you think a 6 ft. length of rope is going to cost?
Certainly not more than it would have cost to pay for Saddam's room and board for another 20 years.
As for murderers and child rapists here, a bullet isn't too expensive.
Execution costs can be changed.
Caring for a prisoners needs for over 15 years will not change in cost, and probably only go higher as liberal people would love to make them more "comfortable" to treat them more "humanely".
BAH!
Take your bleeding heart elsewheres, I have no need for you to tell me that my tax money should fund a killers life needs while paying for the death of millions of fetuses.

Hmm...this thread has been quiet for six minutes. Everybody must be out researching this capital punishment cost. I can't wait for the results - who's going to be the first one to buzz in?
Me, me, me I say the cost should be less then 10 dollars, for the bullet and the time involved.

Well if the cost is the leading factor in being pro or anti death penalty and not the moral issue of killing someone, the Chinese have perfected it. They have 'death buses' that go from city to city administering the lethal injection.

This is for the anti-death penalty people...Cost factors aside, wouldn't you rather have a cold blooded murderer be put to death instead locking his/her ass in a cage for life?
"in a cage" is a bit melodramatic imho. i just cant get over the hypocricy of convicting someone of killing and call it "murder" and then turn around and kill them, calling it "justice". i just cant wrap my simple mind around it

2005 Los Angeles Times Study Finds California Spends $250 Million per ExecutionKey Points
# The California death penalty system costs taxpayers more than $114 million a year beyond the cost of simply keeping the convicts locked up for life. (This figure does not take into account additional court costs for post-conviction hearings in state and federal courts, estimated to exceed several million dollars.)
# With 11 executions spread over 27 years, on a per execution basis, California and federal taxpayers have paid more than $250 million for each execution.
# It costs approximately $90,000 more a year to house an inmate on death row, than in the general prison population or $57.5 million annually.
# The Attorney General devotes about 15% of his budget, or $11 million annually to death penalty cases.
# The California Supreme Court spends $11.8 million on appointed counsel for death row inmates.
# The Office of the State Public Defender and the Habeas Corpus Resource Center spend a total of $22.3 million on defense for indigent defendants facing death.
# The federal court system spends approximately $12 million on defending death row inmates in federal court.
# No figures were given for the amount spent by the offices of County District Attorneys on the prosecution of capital cases, however these expenses are presumed to be in the tens of millions of dollars each year.
