Differential Scanning Calorimetry. Differential scanning calorimetry was obtained on (L)-malic acid using a TA Instruments model 9020. The thermogram is shown in Figure 8, and consists of a single endotherm identified as the melting phase transition.
A Seattle University study examining the costs of the death penalty in Washington found that each death penalty case cost an average of $1 million more than a similar case where the death penalty was not sought ($3.07 million, versus $2.01 million).n its review of death penalty expenses, the State of Kansas concluded that capital cases are 70% more expensive than comparable non-death penalty cases. The study counted death penalty case costs through to execution and found that the median death penalty case costs $1.26 million.
The alarming cost of the death penalty. Many people believe that the death penalty is more cost-effective than housing and feeding someone in prison for life. In reality, the death penaltyâs complexity, length, and finality drive costs through the roof, making it much more expensive. Even states with the fewest protections and a faster process face exorbitant death penalty costs. 2  In Texas, for example, the death penalty still costs an average of three times more than 40 years in prison at maximum security.
