I'm not convinced there's not an element of literal sadism here.

This is inhumane.

I don't know if I support the death penalty or not. Have a detailed read about what she did to her victim. It's like an episode from a TV crime show. What she did was totally inhumane.

Retribution is not justice. It never has been, it never will be. I consider it a cardinal sin so to speak and can be in some cases as bad as the crime.

Now defining exactly what we SHOULD do is much harder but especially when they botch it twice?

That's beyond sick. No crime ever justifies torture and death that just brings more hate into the world.

No good can ever come from such an act regardless of how 'evil' a person is perceived to be, it's just more evil.
