Death Penalty has Cost New Jersey Taxpayers $253 Million
A New Jersey Policy Perspectives report concluded that the state's death penalty has cost taxpayers $253 million since 1983, a figure that is over and above the costs that would have been incurred had the state utilized a sentence of life without parole instead of death. The study examined the costs of death penalty cases to prosecutor offices, public defender offices, courts, and correctional facilities. The report's authors said that the cost estimate is "very conservative" because other significant costs uniquely associated with the death penalty were not available. "From a strictly financial perspective, it is hard to reach a conclusion other than this: New Jersey taxpayers over the last 23 years have paid more than a quarter billion dollars on a capital punishment system that has executed no one," the report concluded. Since 1982, there have been 197 capital trials in New Jersey and 60 death sentences, of which 50 were reversed. There have been no executions, and 10 men are housed on the state's death row. Michael Murphy, former Morris County prosecutor, remarked: "If you were to ask me how $11 million a year could best protect the people of New Jersey, I would tell you by giving the law enforcement community more resources. I'm not interested in hypotheticals or abstractions, I want the tools for law enforcement to do their job, and $11 million can buy a lot of tools."

Maybe Bacon should move to a fundemental Muslim country then, they seem the last people on earth to want to give up the death penalty. I hear it's mainly under the threat of the USA bombing the shit out of it indiscriminately, I'm sure you'll love it!

We are still dropping them like flies too. Not anything like when he was here. But still going.
Personally, I am neither here nor there with it. I have always found a little humor in the concept that pro-choicers see an issue with killing a dirt-bag, but no problem terminating an innocent life i.e. the unborn.
But, that's just me.

I've come to terms with the fact that you are polar opposite of me and we will never agree...I guess the world is going to come to an end because I think murderers and child molesters should be put to death
More executions have happened under your current governor (Rick Perry) than under George Bush. Not by a whole lot, but more.

Oh, I'm in favor of the death penalty. I just wanted to point out executions didn't stop after Bush left.He is just going by the methodology of his former boss.
Even though they are both asshats, I am glad they are emptying death row at break neck speeds.
