That's the title of Eric Glasser's report at WTSP-TV.
It took more than 30 years for Robert Waterhouse to even have a date with death, sitting on death row as taxpayers spent millions on appeals, hearings, and delays.
It's just one reason why Mark Elliott, executive director of Floridians for Alternatives to the Death Penalty, believes life without parole is a better, less expensive alternative.
He says it's a policy that would save Florida an estimated $51 million per year to spend on victim services programs and resources to solve some of Florida's 12,000 homicide cold cases.
"Those families have gotten no justice," said Elliott. "Those killers have literally gotten away with murder."
He also points out that Florida leads the nation in the number of death row inmates mistakenly convicted.
"In Florida, we've had more than 23 people exonerated off our death row," he said.
Last night's execution in Florida was the state's first in 2012; its 72nd execution since 1979. To date, there have been four executions this year; 1,281 post-Furman executions since 1977.
