It costs far less to leave someone to rot in jail for 30 or 40 years that it does to prosecute and appeal a death penalty case. It is most definitely not a way to save money. I worked on a death penalty case in NJ that cost millions of dollars before the death penalty was overturned. What a shameful waste of money.
