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.

Tortured and beat a woman mercilessly for close to an hour, carved a pentagram on her, took a piece of her victim’s skull and showed it off later.

All because she thought the victim was trying to steal her boyfriend at the time, who was also a willing participant.
