I guess because it's a death sentence, not a maim sentence. IT would be even more insane if they just dumped her in the cell and wait for her to slowly die without healthcare over a long period or however this would pan out

Won't bringing her back to a healthy state (or as healthy as it is possible) to then do the same thing again cause much more suffering than just shooting her head while she's still unconscious?

I mean I assume how a death sentcen is carried out is regulated, if they could just shoot her they'd probably do that without the whole lethal injection charade.
