Gov. Jeff Landry signed into law Tuesday a bill allowing executions by nitrogen gas and electrocution, opening the door for Louisiana to revive capital punishment 14 years after it last used its death chamber.

    It is not possible to do it cheaper without murdering even more innocent people. That should be unacceptable for anyone with halfway decent morals.

      even more innocent people.

      How many innocent people get the death penalty in the US?

        Since the 70s, 1584 people have been executed, of which at least 197 have later been exonerated. So a cool 10%. How high would you like it to go to save money?

          Thanks for those statistics.

          It’d be better if those people died in prison. We shouldn’t remove imprisonment just because some people are going to be wrongfully-convicted.

            I’ll ask you again - how many more innocents would you murder to save some money?
