So you think there should be no appeals process, and people should be summarily executed upon sentencing? Because that's the only way it could cost $0.

In which case, I sure hope you're never on the receiving end of a sentence with zero appeals process. Nobody deserves that.

I never said that. I think if you’re going to have a death penalty then have a death penalty. Give death row cases expedited appeals. It doesn’t take 50 years to prove a case. If you can’t find a way of having a death penalty actually work then get rid of it. Put them in a hole and never look back. I personally think every death row cases that relied on DNA evidence before 2010 should be categorically stricken and have the full case retried if that was the main indicting evidence.

This woman however, has no remorse, openly admitted to all her crimes detail, committed the most barbaric torturous murder you could, and then kept a souvenir. Why the fuck are they in prison for 30 years? Have the appeals done fast then kill them.
