Death row is really expensive
Typically the process takes a long arse time and consumes so much in legal fees that it's much cheaper to keep someone in jail for life
Plus in the case of wrongful convictions you didn't kill the guy... you just jailed him
The appeals process costs the courts hundreds of thousands.

yeah
and they still get it wrong sometimes
My grandfather was murdered... died from injuries from being pistol whipped by a guy who took his gun away from him during a home burglary (died less than two days later from the injuries)
The suspect was never caught but even if he was I'd prefer to see him serve life in prison.
