Scumbag sympathizers have made it more costly. It still does not change the fact that a life sentence means that every tax payer including the victim's families and loved ones are still supporting these scumbags for the rest of their lives.Every doctor visit,every meal,all their entertainment and eduction, their security,their rat layers, and anything else we are still paying for. The solution is to make it cheaper.Death penalty cases in the US are much more expensive than life imprisonment cases. And most murderers get life without eligibility for parole if they are not tried for capital murder and punishment.
That means these people won't be released back into society and it's cheaper to keep them imprisoned till they rot than it is to go through with a lengthy execution appeal.
They can still harm other inmates, prison guards and other prison staff and there is a chance they can escape or receive a pardon.
