After most of these have been dealt with there are firms that will start fighting the death penalty per se. It is wrong because. There methods are wrong because…It is cruel and unusual because…. etc. It takes a lot of time and money to do this, whereas, if they just gave the person life without parole they would not have the automatic appeals so it is less expensive, and the offender still dies in prison. The reason death penalties are so expensive is because most defendants can not afford all of the attorneys so they have to be paid for by the state. It costs a lot of money for the state to kill someone to show others that it is wrong to kill someone. Susan Schindler
