The city of Denver did a study in 2008 (if I recall correctly) and found that death-row sentences cost the city thousands of dollars more per case (maybe millions??) than life sentences per case because of the trials and appeals; it took statistics based upon the fiscal impracticality of the death-row in order for the city to make efforts to stop death-row sentencing. Capitalism is culturally engrained in us, more so than we think. Thank you again for another informative podcast, Lee. No longer in a tent, but still very much unplugged, haha. Keep on keepin’ on, my friend; you’re wonderful.

I love that quote!
First they ignore you, then they ridicule you, then they attack you,…………then you win.
