Well, the pro death penalty sites list that, but that is just for the chemicals used. The initial equipment at one site I know of cost @ $80K. You have to have attendant physicians, ect.....
But point taken is that it is a lot cheaper to execute---even when factoriing in appeals vs. life in prison w/o parole.
I am stuck somewhere MM & cmacs stance on this one.

I guess a lot matters under what terms the people were caught....
was it 20 years after the fact on circumstantial evidence or were they caught at the scene in the act....
The former I would tend to lean more for life sentance..and the latter just shoot them on the spot....
