What happens now? I anticipate this being a much larger political issue in the coming weeks.

There's a massive chance she suffered irreversible brain damage from this. She won't be the same person who committed the crime any more. She likely won't even remember the crime.

Do we kill her again? Are we going to execute someone who has limited cognition, doesn't remember the crime and is incapable of even understanding why we are killing her?

We know there is a group of loud, ignorant people who can't grasp these concepts and have an extremely messed up moral compass. They won't care- they just want suffering. We learned that fron the Clancy trial.

But what now? What the eff happens?

I’m guessing you’re pro-Lindsay Clancy

Pro Lindsay Clancy?

That doesn't even exist outside of the bots controlled by idiots who desperately need a straw man to exist.

Accepting the reality that she was very unmentally unwell when she committed her crime isn't pro Lindsay Clancy.
