I've been told it costs more to the taxpayer to house someone on death roll, then it doesn't life in prison. Is any of that cost because of additional legal measure to verify innocence? 

It costs A LOT more to try and convict a person in a death penalty case.  The burden on the state is much greater.  The sentencing stage is usually more expensive and time consuming than the determination of guilt.

I don't thin it really cost any more to house one once they are in prison.
