It costs far more to process a death penalty case than to keep someone in jail. Certain states have discontinued capital punishment because of the financial drain...New Mexico comes to mind instantly. Other states, such as Illinois, have abolished it because of the inherent weakness of the system in ensuring that only guilty people are actually killed.

I grant you there are states where they don't give a rat's ass about shit like that....Texas comes to mind...and I don't even consider those assholes civilized.
