A few days back these were the CNN headlines...
His violence went all the way back into the '40's... In his lifetime, he (apparently) wounded one police officer and killed two others! Again one being a police officer... The last being in 1982.. 28 years behind bars on death row at the taxpayers expense...
Well, after I calmed down, I tried to research it... What I found was that there isn't any real data (If you can believe that) to support that it's less expensive to execute a criminal than to allow him to be sentenced to life in prison without a chance of parole...
Which brings to mind this Army Major that killed those 13 people in Washington State... I would think that this case should be a slam dunk! But I have my doubts...
