What price for vengeance on society's worst killers?
In Florida, try $ 51 million a year.
That,
according to a Palm Beach Post estimate, is how much Florida spends
each year to enforce the death penalty - above and beyond what it would
cost to punish all first-degree murderers with life in prison without
parole.
