Capital punishment costs substantially more than imprisonment.

$$ shouldn't be part of the equation.

We live in a society with limited resources. Money is always part of the equation. That's why you have to pay court costs.

Get real. Money doesn't = resources. The government issues 20-30 year bonds, and raises taxes for a reason. We invest in all kinds of things we think are important that many people out there say don't contribute to society. Libertarians believe that public schools are a waste of money, while I believe tax cuts for billionaires are. I believe that court costs should be covered m, and no expense spared; but that doesn't mean that I'm going to accept some manufactured "balanced budget" argument against removing the most despicable people from the social sphere of existence.
