Given the fact that CA is getting even less back from the feds, I just don’t see why the state would shell out more money for death penalty cases.

We know that death penalty cases cost more than life in prison, and we have no evidence that the death penalty is a crime deterrent.

If you’re simply being a Vulcan about this, the death penalty is pretty illogical. At best it scratches an itch for vengeance. But I can’t pay for goods and services with vengeance.
