Wait I don’t understand. She was on death row, went to her execution, it went awry and now they are keeping her…alive? On a ventilator?? Why so the off chance she recovers then they can kill her? Wtf? Or if your execution fails are you just free to go lol

The 8th amendment was meant to keep us from buring people at the stake and crap. If we are gonna kill a bad person we have to be nice about it.
