Death Penalty

What...?
10 years in jail and a few hundred dollars for the chemical is more expensive than a lifetime in jail?

Hazzy, after a typical death sentence, lawyers will continue to file appeals for decades on behalf of their clients. Oftentimes, our method of attempting to weed out cases where innocents are convicted ensures costly court battles while the convicts sit on death row.

At least, that's the way it works in the United States. Things are handled much more efficiently in states like China, Iran, and North Korea, but I shudder at the so-called "justice system" in place at each of the states there.

I think it should be reserved for a select few cases, like it use to. Not the several thousand it is now. <_<

If the death sentence were only used in a select few cases, my guess is that those convicted could argue successfuly that they were being singled out for "cruel and unusual punishment."
