not really what it is cracked up to be
I see a lot of posts saying that the taxpayers of this country do not want to foot the bill for J.W. to be in prison. I would just like to tell the people that don't know this that it costs far more money to put a person to death then to keep him in jail for 70 years. Various state governments estimate that a single death penalty case, from the point of arrest to execution, ranges from $1 million to $3 million per case. Other studies have estimated the cost to be as high as $7 million. Cases resulting in life imprisonment average around $500,000 each, including incarceration cost.
Personally if I was Mr. Walker I would have been praying for the death penalty, because I can tell you life in a federal prison is nothing like a country club. And I am almost positive that the inmates that are in whatever prison he might end up at aren't gonna treat this jerk off with anything but violence. Remember what happened to Jefferey Dhamer??

P.S. A wise dude once said "an eye for an eye just makes the whole world go blind". I think it was Ghandi...

You need to go back and read my earlier posts. That study was done taking into account all the legal wrangling and appeals and all that crap (attorney costs, etc.)
That's not my point. 1.25 gets a 10mm round and you shoot him dead.
I wish I could live in the rosy lil' fantasyland you people live in. I would love to as ignorant to the real workings of the world, but alas I'm a bit jaded from my own personal experience to fall in with you.
Look, I'm not trying to insult anyone and if you took it that way you're too sensitive.
I'm just spouting my belief and banging heads with some really intelligent people, i don't mind people disagreeing with me. i don't take offense to what you say even if you call me names. Because as I've said before. "Winning an argument online is like winning at the special olympics, I mean, you're still retarded, right?"
P.S. That's not meant as an insult to any retards out there.
