Why is it?

  Legal costs of getting them sentenced to death. Apparently it takes $1.5-2 million to pay for the legal proceedings necessary to go beyond life in prison, while room & board & etc for life in prison costs about $500k.

    That makes it really easy to be against the death penalty.

      I would like to think that the decision of whether to execute people would not be based on financial concerns.
