Also, the whole 'it costs money to keep them alive' argument holds little weight when you consider that, in American states where the death penalty is a thing, it's cheaper to keep someone alive for 60 (that number may be off but I'm pretty sure I read that it's around that) years than it is to sentence someone to death. There's a lot of litigation, appeals and due process involved with the Death Penalty, as there should be.

Putting someone to death isn't the cheap option.
