OHIO (USA): JUDGE CALLS OHIO DEATH PENALTY COSTS 'ASTRONOMICAL'

October 3, 2014: County Judge Michael P. Donnelly, a member of Ohio's Death Penalty Task Force appointed by the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, recently called the costs of capital trials "astronomical." He went on to say that a county's budget may be a factor in decisions to seek the death penalty: ā€œWith 88 different prosecutors who have complete discretion on whether to pursue it or not, and you have to draw the inference that, in some counties, itā€™s not pursued because itā€™s just not economically feasible.ā€ For example, Summit County is facing a 15% overrun of its court indigent defense budget because of five cases in which prosecutors sought the death penalty this year. The most recent capital trial cost the county $102,715, lasted nearly two months, and ended in a sentence of life without parole. Court officials said an aggravated murder case without death penalty charges typically costs $15,000 to $20,000 and lasts only two weeks. The judge added, ā€œThereā€™s no way you can look at the way the death penalty is applied in Ohio and draw the conclusion that itā€™s fair, or that itā€™s accomplishing what it purports to do ā€” and that is, deliver the most severe punishment to the worst of the worst. Itā€™s just not taking placeā€. (Sources: Akron Beacon Journal, 03/10/2014)
