The question is also - how can YOU be certain that death penalty costs more than life imprisonment? The reason why I'm not willing to do extensive research is because you are not willing to do same. I'll wait until you can show me raw data with interpretation of your own. For ie - I compiled statistic from record-keeping agencies (free of biased) and then I did number-crunching based on it and interpreted it. You did not so why should I waste my time to do homework for you?

No, what you gave me was Wiki sources. And you cannot provide proof even with valid research. You can only provide support. That was not my site, it was Leibling's site. Your budget was the entire state budget, not the budget pertaining to carrying out the death penalty. Leibling's site provided more accurrate information, in that budget information was pertinent only to carrying out the death sentence.
Like I said, please provide those computations for me. One can only show raw data when one has done the research themselves. Raw data is not included in research reports. Statistically analyzed data is included in research reports.
What record keeping agencies did you use that provided you with raw data? The numbers coming from agencies has already been analyzed statistically, and therefore is not raw data. If you are performing statistical analysis on data that has already been analyzed, particularly without knowing methods of data collection for those numbers, it is quite obvious that your knowledge in the area of statisitics is minimal to say the least.
I can be certain, because I use reliable research, not Wiki. I can be sure because I am capable of reading and interpreting the research. I am certain because I have extensive knowledge regarding statistical analysis.
Rather than doing my homework for me, I would suggest that you do some homework of your own. Perhaps you would increase your knowledge base.
BTW, I think you are confusing this thread with posts you have made in a thread on the death penalty. They are not one and the same. This thread is not about the death penalty. It is about the inequities of applied justice.
