@available4 Actually, the opposite is true. Death penalty cases require automatic appeals whose costs add up steadily. Estimates range from $1.5 million to over $3 million per case from trial through execution or natural death on death row. Whereas life in prison costs range from $600,000 to $1.1 million.

the result is death penalty costs taxpayers 2.5 to 5 times more than life imprisonment without parole across the United States.
