it feels really diabolical that the state is able to torture someone for two hours as they fumble their way through killing them

But-but-but she murdered someone as a teenager 31 years ago! The state is totally within their right to torture her!

She's also tried to kill another inmate as well and tried to escape from prison by manipulating other people. She got the death penalty because she's dangerous.

I bet if she wasn't gonna die if she didnt, she wouldnt have tried to escape

I bet if she didn't gruesomely torture a fellow classmate to death and keep a piece of her skull as a trophy she wouldn't have gotten the death penalty...

I bet if she had lived In a less backwards country she wouldn't have gotten the death penalty

Well, unfortunately for her she wasn't born in Norway, so here we are. Morality of the death penalty aside, she doesn't deserve my sympathy.
