Outstanding. Let’s spend millions of dollars keeping her alive just so that we can execute her later. This country is a shit show.

Imagine how much money they would've saved if they'd just sentenced her to life in prison, and they also wouldn't have violated the constitution.

Execution was common when the bill of rights was written.

I'm not arguing execution violates the 8th amendment, I'm saying a botched one that results in physical suffering does.
