I wonder what the comparison of costs would be for life without parole vs a death row inmate exhausting every legal avenue available and including the cost of the execution.
A case like this makes talk of costs seem a bit trivial and wrong.

I understand the expense of keeping a hardened killer alive for the rest of his life is difficult; However, if there isn't a sure way of knowing who a true killer is, then I would be unjust in saying that capital punishment is for all killers. I'd hate for there to be a mistake just for the cause of money.
