County estimates in Texas indicate that the death penalty system is much more expensive than sentencing inmates to life imprisonment. Gray County spent nearly $1 million seeking the death penalty against Levi King, even though he pleaded guilty to murder.
Based on these figures, the Bee concluded that death penalty trials were six times more expensive, costing on average $592,500. Meanwhile, the Bee estimated that it cost $93,000 to try a non-death penalty case.
