There have been three (3) executions in LA since 2000 (inclusive)
It is not like you are going to be missing out on all that much fun.

It won't happen.
However, the death penalty is practically all but dead in Louisiana because parish governments don't want to pay the fees to move convicts sentenced in their parishes through the process. It's been over 8 year since we last imposed it.

Not a working penalty anyway, and each death penalty verdict costs us all a huge amount of money. Not worth it.

The death penalty is incredibly expensive to carry out due to the appeals process and the fact that it basically requires an entirely duplicitous set of sentencing trials in order to get a death sentence and defeat all of those appeals. It takes like 30 years to put someone to death. It would be a lot cheaper to just skip that process and give them life without parole.
There's also a major national shortage of lethal injection drugs.
I think they should be reforming the appeals and sentencing process to cut down the cost rather than getting rid of the penalty.

The chair is still operational. It’s a shame Louisiana let its Cajun and Catholic cultures turn the state into a bunch of pussies.

It’s way more expensive than the alternative. It’s insanely inefficient, and as others have said, it’s practically dead anyways.
Time to just lock them up after an initial trial and forego the decades of appellate costs.

But not for unborn tiny humans, right?

It's all a moot point...they haven't put anyone to death in years. Wish they would though. Time to instill an eye for an eye. Why keep these murdering sons of bitches alive breathing good air?

No shite. A few states use the chair as a secondary option so LA could get one and fire it back up since the drug supply is a problem.

I always find it interesting that so many "small govt conservatives" who trust the govt extremely little and assume it full of paid idiots, suddenly has full faith that this same govt will always execute only the guilty.
Its like some believe the state govt is so terrible that it must be right all the time.

I support removal of the death penalty.
I frankly don't see how one can be conservative and for it.

I think his point is that the cost of all that lawyering/litigation plus thirty years imprisonment is more expensive than letting them rot in prison.

Absolutely. We should make it easier to kill any citizens the state dictates. Why even have a trial?
