I'd say cost shouldn't be a factor because we can afford it.

We can? The death penalty has cost New Jersey a quarter billion since '83 and is one reason why the state is in financial crisis and AC shut down for a short period.
The hilarious thing about this is there have been nearly 200 capital cases with 60 death sentences given. Of the 60, 50 were later reversed, and of the 10 upheld, all 10 remain on death row. So a quarter billion wasted on the death penalty where not even one man was executed. What a system we have in place.
