$1.2 Million to House Prisoner for Life
This POS was armed to the hilt, when he tried to hold up a cash/pawn store. The clerk rang the silent alarm and several officers showed up and confronted him in the parking lot. He was also wearing a bullet-proof vest. He and the Sgt. got into a close proximity gun battle. The Sgt. shot him center-mass. But, the vest saved him. The officers gun only held a 9 round clip. He was out of bullets, when Mathews pulled another gun and shot him dead.
It was a plea deal and the family agreed to it. Something is wrong with the system, when you can commit that many felonies, and still breath air above ground. Jesse Mathews pleaded guilty Friday to killing Chattanooga police Sergent Tim Chapin back in April of 2011. Mathews is headed to prison for life without parole. Many NewsChannel 9 Facebook followers favored a death penalty outcome and some claimed it would be cheaper. But is that true? People we spoke with had mixed ideas. Mary Ancona, who was aware of the Mathews plea and sentence, felt it was clear-cut. Ancona said, "I think the expense of holding him for the rest of his life would be more and that's why I'm in agreement for the death penalty in certain cases." And that's true, if the 27-year-old Mathews stays in prison a long time. The average annual cost to house an inmate in the Tennessee Department of Corrections is $23,663. Using a life expectancy of 77 years, that equates to a cost of about $1,183,150. That said, a Mathews death penalty would cost almost $450,000 if he stayed in prison the average of 13 years for death row inmates. |

Hell, I know some guys around Clarksville who would bring their own rifles and ammo and wouldn't charge the State a penny.
And, if the offer was phrased properly, they could probably be counted upon to pay for the privilege of being in the firing party. |
