Issue quote: Robert M. Carney, on Cost - Testimony before the New York State Assembly Codes, Judiciary, and Correction Committe

Continuing to spend millions of dollars to take a murder defendant who has already been caught and subject him to death rather than life without parole will not prevent the next murder. Redirecting money to more vigorously apprehend and prosecute armed robbers, rapists, burglars, and those who commit gun crimes will prevent murders and save lives.
