Not to mention the fact that the death penalty costs the government TONS more than putting someone away for life, which is pretty damn ridiculous imo.

To paraphrase Ron White , there should be an express line for the most serious offenses that are also pretty cut and dry (PLENTY of evidence)....none of this waiting 20 years for appeals.
Aside from fiscal responsibility, I do have some reservations about the death penalty especially seeing as how we have literally executed people who were later proven innocent. That right there is a fucking travesty of the highest proportions.
