Took then long enough....stop wasting tax dollars.....

I'm not sure what you mean. It's more expensive to try someone for murder than it is to incarcerate them for life with no parole.

Finance 101. You don't consider sunk costs when calculating the NPV of a project going forward. Waste his ass the day he's sentenced to death.

No no no. The trial is more expensive. It's cheaper to try them and lock them up for life than it is just to try someone and seek the death penalty, never mind any incarceration or execution costs after the trial. It's just opportunity cost out the window.

After a lifetime of bitter prejudice that drove him to kill innocent strangers, Mark Stroman died with a message of peace.

Stroman, 41, was executed by the state of Texas on Wednesday night by lethal injection, punishment for a shooting rampage in the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks that left two South Asian convenience store workers dead and another seriously injured.

Before his trial in 2002, Stroman, an avowed white supremacist, dubbed himself the "Arab slayer" and called the shootings "patriotic" retribution for the terror attacks.

But by the time prison authorities at the Texas death chamber in Huntsville strapped Stroman to a gurney and prepared to execute him, he had undergone a remarkable shift in perspective.

"Hate is going on in this world and it has to stop," Stroman said in his final moments. "Hate causes a lifetime of pain."

A key inspiration for Stroman's radically altered point of view was the extraordinary effort made to spare his life by one of his victims: Rais Bhuiyan, a Muslim immigrant from Bangladesh who was shot in the face by Stroman while working as a cashier at a Dallas convenience store. Bhuiyan survived the attack, but was blinded in one eye.

Late last year, after undertaking a pilgrimage to Mecca, Bhuiyan realized that his devout Muslim faith called on him to not only forgive Stroman for the attack, but to attempt to spare him from execution.

"No no no" lmao! I understand perfectly what you were saying. My point is that you don't consider sunk costs once you've paid them ... Corporate Finance 101.
Day 0 = Try a guy and sentence him to death. Evaluate the project at the end of day 0. Additional days spent housing said prisoner for years before executing are additional costs. The costs to try someone for murder are irrelevant at that point... they're done, spent.
You posted you didn't quite understand what the guy meant, I'm relaying how that's still relevant after the fact.

I see now. Then it's even more expensive to put someone to death.
