Kansas to Repeal the Death Penalty?

Kansas, among other states, is considering abolishing the death penalty in order to save costs. Peep the article, yo. And according to this report it costs$1.26 million to kill someone and only $740k to keep someone in jail for life.

Um, how the hell does it cost that much to kill a person? If someone is facing the death penalty, they probably killed someone. And if they get the death penalty, they probably don't have $1.26 million. We all know rich people don't get death, right OJ? Typical Democrats, they can't even execute people without wasting tons of tax payer money. There are definitely ways to end lives more cheaply. But, supposedly, death penalties are supposed to be all humane and stuff. Here's how you save money, Kansas. Car+ running engine+potato in the muffler Beverly Hills Cop style. Job done with only the cost of gas. That's like $20 bucks if you drive a Civic.

So back to the original question, how does it cost that much to kill someone? Oh, you mean it was all delineated in the report I linked to above? And the cost figures include the entire trial, sentencing, AND capital punishment process - not just the killing? And Kansas can reduce costs if people simply stopped killing each other? Well then, sounds like someone just wasted 5 minutes reading this post.
