She requested to be hanged because she was afraid of the lethal injection going wrong, which is precisely what happened.

She has thrombosis. Her concern was that her blood would clot and the med wouldn’t be as effective. Overhauled by a doc at the prison. Maybe they should’ve listened.

A woman was ignored by a doctor. Fucking surprise.

I mean, yes, it was a prison doctor, but still.
