The cost is in the ten year or longer legal process post-conviction, a separate trial for the death penalty followed by a series of mandatory appeals by the defense.
California spends $250 million a year pursuing the death penalty, the average death sentence costing $25 million.
If instead of maintaining the death penalty, California could hire 1000 new police officers. What would make more of a difference?

What would 1000 new officers do? Theres no where to put the criminals they catch.
