It's ironic, as the wife and I just last night were talking about giving a convict that's serving a life sentence the option of ending their lives.

It seems that in MA there's a bit of a quirky law that says if a person convicted of a crime dies before the appeal process is completed that the conviction is overturned. That could mean possible millions of dollars for Hernandez's heirs.
The cost to house maximum security prisoners pales in comparison to prosecuting a capital offense, which averages well over $1M. That amounts to my one and only objection to the death penalty.
The study found that 61 death sentences handed down in Oregon cost taxpayers an average of $2.3 million, including incarceration costs, while a comparison group of 313 aggravated murder cases cost an average of $1.4 million. Excluding state prison costs, the difference was even more stark: $1.1 million for death sentences vs. $315,159 for other cases. The study also found that death penalty costs were escalating over time, from $274,209 in the 1980s to $1,783,148 in the 2000s.
Hernandez saved the MA taxpayers millions of dollars by taking himself out of the gene pool.
