Just 2% of counties in the U.S. are responsible for most executions. The other 98% pay most of the cost ($25 billion and counting), since the burden falls on states, and the places using it most seem to have the most flawed systems / abuses. Philadelphia Co., for e.g., pays court-appointed lawyers the lowest fees in the state and has had frequent reversals of death sentences because of inadequate defense.
