Article Abstract:

Prosecuting and penalizing capital crimes costs the state of California anywhere from $1.8 to $45 million. The appellate process isusually the most expensive and the longest part of litigation.

Furthermore, lawyers are worried about the Supreme Court decision that disallows the California Apellate Project from recruiting lawyers to handle death penalty appeals.
