What if executing someone costs more than locking them up for life? Would your opinion shift if you found out that it does? In this eye-opening episode of Truth Be Found, Justin is joined by attorney Dale Baish to unpack the complicated reality of the death penalty in America, from jaw-dropping costs to the long legal process and racial issues. Together, they explore how politics, public perception, and legal loopholes shape who faces execution and who gets a plea deal, even in cases involving gruesome violence.

Touching on the infamous Jodi Arias case and lesser-known stories buried in budget reports, this conversation reveals how unevenly capital punishment is applied and how often it drains public resources with little justice to show.

Key Moments:

• The shocking cost comparison: why life in prison is cheaper than the death penalty
• Why some attorney generals seek the death penalty for every first-degree murder
• The 6,000-hour case: what it takes to investigate capital punishment trials
• Why only a fraction of capital cases actually result in a death sentence

If you think the death penalty is about justice alone, this episode will challenge that belief. Truth Be Found pulls back the curtain on the legal strategy, public policy, and financial burden behind every capital trial. Whether you're a criminal justice professional, curious citizen, or simply someone who believes in due process, this episode will leave you questioning what justice really costs—and who pays the price.
