States spend much more money on capital cases than they would if they simply locked up these prisoners for life.<BR/><BR/>In fact, New Jersey has spend 253 million dollars on their death penalty system since 1983 that has yet to execute anyone.<BR/><BR/>Florida has spend an average of $55 million per year on 44 executions since 1976. That's an average of $24 million per execution!<BR/><BR/>Is this worth it to you?<BR/><BR/>Now, think about the moral issues here. We say it's wrong to kill another human being. So, is it wrong to kill or not? How can we stand on high moral ground and tell people that they are evil for killing and then kill them.srspacemonkeyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09169522875709811848noreply@blogger.com
