23 Ιουλ 2024 · The cost of pursuing a death penalty case in Texas is estimated to be 3 times higher than a case seeking life without parole. The costs associated with death penalty cases in Texas have been a subject of debate, with critics arguing that the financial burden is too high for taxpayers.
During 2020, the number of prisoners under sentence of death declined for the twentieth consecutive year. California (28%), Florida (14%), and Texas (8%) held half of the prisoners under sentence of death in the United States on December 31, 2020. The BOP held 51 prisoners under sentence of death at yearend.
In Texas, the cost of an average death penalty case is nearly three times higher than imprisoning someone for life without the possibility of parole. 23 states (most recently, Virginia) have abandoned the death penalty through legislation or judicial decisions. Governors in three other states have imposed a moratorium on executions.
Use of the death penalty in Texas remained near historic low levels this year, with juries sentencing three people to death and the state executing three people. Unlike in 2020, however, the COVID-19 pandemic was not the primary cause of the low numbers.
