There, plenty of scientific based articles on costs of the death penalty.
I personally think that the death penalty is barbarous. It says exactly the opposite thing that society is preaching.

You're arguing semantics. I asked for proof that the carrying out of the death penalty was more expensive than life inprisionment. All that website discusses and acknowledges is the cost of death penalty trials. This douchebag's already been committed and exhausted his appeals. Give it to him.
From your site:

The costs of carrying out (i.e. incarceration and/or execution) a death sentence were about half the costs of carrying out a non-death sentence in a comparable case.

The solution is not to get rid of the death penalty, it is to speed up the trial process and reduce the amount of appeals.
