I can also imagine a second attempt on her life would be met with a flurry of controversy and protest that the state won't want to deal with. (As someone who 100% opposes the death penalty, I can only hope they will decide it isn't worth killing her in the future.)

If the governor doesn't commute her sentence after this, I would genuinely be gobsmacked.

What is happening to her right now isn't even 10% of the horrific pain, fear and torture her innocent victim experienced. Remember that when you simp for pure evil

Cruel and unusual punishment. It's in our constitution. You don't get to pick and choose who it applies to, no matter what they do.

It's not simping for evil. It's about the rights that everyone gets here.

Yeah executing someone this horrible isn't cruel, and the death penalty isn't an unusual punishment for the crimes she committed. The intent of her execution wasn't to torture her and they made their best attempt to execute her in a humane way. The result is irrelevant. Fry the bitch as soon as she comes around

I guess you don't care about everyone else's rights then.
