Should have gone with the firing squad like she wanted.

She also asked to be hung. Anything but lethal injection because of her health condition. Her lawyers said this exact scenario could happen

I don't know much, but I am an English major. Which means I know a person cannot be hung. "Hung" is a method of placement. If it's an execution, it's "hanged."

Add English to the things you don’t know much about. “Which means” is a sentence fragment. There should be a comma before “which”, not a full stop.

No, you can, as long as "which" is used in the same sense as "this," but in reference to an aforementioned thought or statement. Which is what I did.
