An Appalachian State University professor says North Carolina lawmakers should seriously consider repealing the death penalty because it's financially expensive, carried out infrequently and doesn't deter crime. Matthew Robinson spoke at a Monday news conference assembled by the state's trial lawyer
Put the death penalty itself on trial
And it would collapse under the preponderance of evidence:
Robinson analyzed years of data about the death penalty, which he said costs millions of dollars annually and capital murder cases are nearly four times more expensive than non-capital cases. He said seven people have been exonerated and freed from North Carolina's death row since the early 1970s.If the Republicans really want to cut wasteful programs, this should be at the top of their list. But first they'd have to join us here in the 21st Century.

Death penalty ineffective, too expensive, new study says
By MICHAEL HEWLETT
North Carolina should repeal the death penalty because it is expensive, ineffective and racially biased, an Appalachian State University professor says in a new study.
The study was done by Matthew Robinson, a professor of government and justice studies. Robinson analyzed data from more than 20 studies on the death penalty and released his findings Monday at a news conference in Raleigh.

I am taking both sides on this subject but lean heavily more towards getting rid of the death penalty altogether. I mean from class and these articles we have seen that it is extremely expensive, there has been no proof of deterence and the fact that most people given the sentence dont recieve a swift and sudden death if ever. I mean we have to go through apeal after apeal and so much tax payer money for solitary confinement etc etc. It seems almost completely riduluous to know that we spend this kind of money on these criminals when we as a public are in a economic crisis and cant even get the healthcare the criminals get. Not to mention the fact that most of the inmates with the death penalty just die in prison anyways of old age or complications not due to lethal injection or electric chair deaths. However, the one and only reason I see it fit to keep the death penalty at all is retribution and peace of mind. I think people feel good when they hear the judge say "I sentence you to death", for the victim or their family. I can say as a rational person that alone should not be enough to maintain the death penalty status but if faced with a situation like my mother as the victim I feel my ratioinality is out the window and I may want that sentence given to the perp for the loss I would have suffered.
