A valid argument, except in the case at hand. McVeigh cancelled his appeals,
even when the Federal Bureau of Incompetents showed gross negligence by
misplacing thousands of documents pertaining to the investigation. So it
should have been relatively cheap to kill the freak.
Personally, although not opposed to capital punishment in extreme cases, I
think it was unwise to execute the bugger. This would appear to further his
cause by making him a martyr to those who support him, and you can bet they
are out there. I say keep him alive to be a nice little prison wife.

Subject: RE: Revenge has it's place
A 1982 in-depth study of death penalty costs in New York placed the cost of
executing a prisoner at over $1.8 million. This figure is three times the
cost of imprisoning a person for life, and it includes only three stages of
judicial proceedings. It does not include additional court, security, and
counsel fees, nor does it include estimated millions of dollars associated
with state and federal post-conviction reviews and with the execution
itself.

What is the cost to society for life imprisonment? I'd rather have my tax
dollars go elsewhere........
