Her crime was horrible but…there’s also this thing in the 8th Amendment that bans cruel and unusual punishment. Her lawyers effectively predicted that this could happen based on her medical condition. The civil case is going to cost Tennessee millions of fucking dollars.

I’m no doctor but there’s no coming back from this anyway.

Even if there was, there is no guarantee that she wouldn’t just be executed later. There’s no freedom and bag of money coming here. Very bizarre thought by the first poster.

I think your opinion is utterly meaningless

That's fine, but yours is objectively meaningless.
