The usual figure is that it's more expensive to kill someone (and deal with
death row appeals) than to just leave them in jail for life.

As for you, how much of your own money will you pay to the families of
convicts who were executed and then found innocent? Will you accept being
killed yourself, to satisfy the feeilings of the victimized families?

Who you think killed your wife.
