25 years stuck in the appeals process doesn't seem like a cheaper option

There may well be some truth in that.

Doubtful it would be 25 years in for-ing and to-ing considering the guy represented himself, gave no closing arguements\speeches, no requests at all for presenting witnesses, and admitting his guilt.

Doubtful it would take 25 years to execute him, with full admission of guilt and absolutely no interest and presentation of a defense

Appeal is automatic in capital cases like this.
I used the 25 year figure as 2 of the other 5 currently on military death row were from the 1980s and are still going through the legal ins and outs.

It amazes me that many people still think that a person on death row is cheaper than being imprisoned without parole. It is about 3 times more expensive actually.
Cheapest would be an immediate execution, but things like this can backfire badly. Maybe not in this case, but generally spoken.

I think letting him rot in a miserable prison cell would be a good thing. Why end his suffering with a needle? Let him rot...

Why cruelty when determination is sufficient. Immediate execution or life in prison - and let him work there to come up for the costs for his clothes, food, heating, guards' wages, etc. It indeed is not to be understood why society is expected to pay for criminals, or terrorists like this. Prisoner wants light in his cell? Let him work for the power bill. A TV? He has to pay.

I can't disagree with this, we have to work for the things we want, so should criminals, just because they try to take the short cut outside of jail doesn't mean they should inside it.

Honestly though, in this instance, one of those max security jails sounds like a good option, after a few years in that he'll be wishing he was executed.
