It varies from state to state. For states such as Florida or Texas (who have high death penalty rates)... it's cheaper, but for states with low death penalty rates... it's more expensive.

I think if you are going to oppose the death penalty, then you should oppose and care about all cases that include it... whether you like or sympathize with the perpetrator or not. That's just my take on it, though...
