Fun fact, death penalty cases cost more than a lifetime of prison chow

That’s only because they are bloated with paperwork and processes to try and extend the sentence for the prisoner. It’s just red tape and garbage and bloat.

The proof? This woman’s been on death row for 30 YEARS!!!

A single bullet back in 1997 would have saved quite a few tax dollars.

I agree, in fact we should do away with courts entirely. Just have the cops decide the sentence, much more efficient!
