Regardless of appeals costs (which I'm sure there are plenty in non-death penalty cases as well, although I'm aware of the auto appeal), I still can't imagine that abolishing the death penalty would really reduce punishment costs in any substantial amount (if at all).
Regarding Bill Maher, I've never seen him shame anyone. His show is a joke. He generally brings on like one republican he picked up off the street to debate himself and James Carville. The basic show is like, "alright, we're gonna have a fair debate tonight with Shannon Doherty for the GOP, and Paul Begala and John Edwards for the left...Obviously I'll be the "impartial" moderator."
