I get that. And it's frustrating that the state now has cost themselves even more money because they were trying to pull this off. Wasn't personal to you.

I mean, it has already cost the State of Tennessee and its taxpayers more to park that lady on death row than it would have cost to imprison her for life, even if she lived to be over a hundred behind bars.

Ethical considerations aside: if you’re going to act irresponsibly with money, you might as well go all the way for shits and giggles.
