Just read that it cost the taxpayer 11 billion to keep him alive including his funeral?
Do you still feel the same way about him being hung for his murders?

is it acceptable to the taxpayer to pay that much, when there are so many other things that the money could have been spent on, or dosent the money matter?

I heard it was eleventy billion

11 Billion??? I doubt that!

The death sentence is wrong on many levels, firstly the 2 wrongs don't make a right. And even more, how many injustices take place where people are wrongly prosecuted? At least in prison they can be released!

Daily Mail reported it as ten million. He was in prison for 32 years so it costs what it costs. What's the alternative?

Exactly.

And no, the money doesn't matter, if the alternative is an inhumane, medieval justice system.

Does that say 11 billion pounds?
