>Capital punishment for our worst criminals is 100% effective.

It's also 100% effective when we kill people who aren't guilty.

>Did you find any data to support your costs being lower than the costs I presented for prisoners?

I haven't been doing the research, but I've heard that given the appeals process, it usually taks about 5 million bucks to kill a dude, and that's about 10 times the cost of the stats you cited for a life sentence... and if you take away the appeals process (like Texas has been trying to do), you make our country that much more barbaric.
