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.
For the states which employ the death penalty, this luxury comes at a high price. In Texas, a death penalty case costs taxpayers an average of $2.3 million, about three times the cost of imprisoning someone in a single cell at the highest security level for 40 years.[3] In Florida, each execution is costing the state $3.2 million.alifornia, for example, was spending $10 million a year reimbursing counties for expert witnesses, investigators and other death-penalty defense costs, plus $2 million more to help pay for the overall cost of murder trials in smaller counties.
Amnesty International rounded up some findings from the last decade on the cost of pursuing the death penalty in different states, including Maryland, where a single death penalty case can cost up to $3 million more than a non-death penalty case, according to a 2008 report.
