So I was reading the blaze tonight, when I saw this article "Should California Abolish the Death Penalty to Save Taxpayer Dollars?" here is a quote from it.
When it comes to ongoing values debates, the death penalty is one issue that rates right alongside abortion and gay marriage for its ability to incite controversy and heated chatter. As states like California grapple with deficits and accumulated debt, discussions regarding the cost of the death penalty versus lifetime imprisonment are beginning to emerge.
So I am thinking, wow, 4 BILLION! they must be executing people all over the place, some perspective Utah's ENTIRE BUDGET for 2011 is 11 Billion, so 1/3rd of Utah's Budget to run en ENTIRE state, used to execute people, so I am thinking 100,000s must have been executed, much to my shock, and horror, with 4 BILLION they were able to execute........................ 16 people.
For a Cost of OVER $300,000,000 PER Criminal!

Just in case you thought there was ANY sanity in CA, do not think, but KNOW there is none.
