Legal Wednesday - Jeremy Rosenthal

Yes, I've never looked at it like that, how much it costs for the death penalty versus just keeping somebody behind bars for 30 years.

Well, part of the expense

comes, I mean, I don't know what it's like in Tennessee, and I don't know what their laws are, but you are automatically, if you get the death penalty in Oregon, you automatically are given by law a series of appeals, right? I mean, the law provides that this will be appealed.

And those appeals can go on for decades.

I'm assuming it's the same in Tennessee because these crimes were committed back in the late 90s that she was convicted

of.

It's so nasty.

I mean, that whole thing is just so nasty.

I mean, this human should not be on Earth.

I mean, it is bad.

It's just I mean, yeah, the crimes that she committed.

Oh, we're absolutely.

I mean, it was nasty.

Vicious, gory, obviously torture was involved.

I mean, it was horrific.

And like I said, you know, now that this has happened and if Tennessee sticks to its guns and says we're going to put her to death again or try to, the appeals process is going to be forever.

I mean, it took 20, almost 30 years to get to the point where she ended up.

getting a lethal, well, non-lethal injection.

So it's going to last.
