It appears this process is far from just. Nor is it cheap. Capital punishment is an expensive way to deal with the problem of violent crime. The average murder trial and the first stage of appeals cost taxpayers more than twice what it costs to keep a person in prison for life. Coretta Scott King, widowed by an assassin's bullet, stands firmly against the death penalty.
Justice is never advanced in the taking of a human life.
Morality is never upheld by legalized murder. Most nations do not have the death penalty. Ours is the only highly developed country in the world that does. Now is the time to declare a moratorium on the death penalty. Not in my name.
