Studies have consistently found that a system of criminal law in which the death penalty is available as a punishment is far more expensive than a system in which the most severe punishment is life without parole or a long prison term. Now, as the number of murder exonerations mounts across the United States, a previously hidden cost is emerging: the cost of liability for police and prosecutorial misconduct associated with the wrongful use or threatened use of the death penalty. The innocence movement has shown that, in addition to the increased costs associated with investigation, pretrial detention, prosecution, jury selection, trial and sentencing, appeal, and incarceration in death-penalty cases, wrongful capital prosecutions are costing state and local taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars. Two factors drive up the costs of wrongful conviction judgments: official misconduct and length and severity of incarceration.

Messenger UNDOUBTEDLY, the popular Arabic proverb – Many injustices in prison – applies to many cases in the world particularly in the Arab world. This is due to the fact that the law is blind and does not see injustice, as the jurists say. An example of such injustices is narrated in the following story that occurred in the US state of Ohio in 1975. Three thieves robbed and murdered a businessman Harry Franks who was in possession of not more than $ 425. At that time, Eddie Vernon, who was 12 years old, was the only key witness in the case. The court took into consideration his statements to convict 17-year old Ronnie Bridgeman a.k.a. Kwame Ajamu, his 20-year old brother Wiley Bridgeman and their 19-year old friend Ricky Jackson and sentenced them to death. This sentence was later commuted to life imprisonment.
