Issue quote: Jason Nemes, on Cost - R. G. Dunlop, "Kentucky's troubled death-penalty system lets cases languish for decades," Th

We've got a system in Kentucky where there's not enough money for public advocates, for prosecutors, for drug courts, family courts, for juvenile services, for rehabilitation programs, and we're using the money we have in a way I think is unwise... Every dollar that goes to our ineffective capital punishment system is a dollar taken away from other needs.

— Jason Nemes, former director of the Kentucky Administrative Office of the Courts
