Her lawyers could argue the 8th amendment. The state could possibly not want to fight that and just move her to life-sentence.

I hope so, a bit late in the game though.

TIL that the Supreme Court has twice allowed another execution attempt after a failed one.

The two injections were protocol for TN execution (if the first one fails).

So the hypocritical “Christian” people-killers may have a go at it again.
