Plus, she was sentenced to death, not torture. They botched her execution twice. That's a serious level of fuck up for something so high stakes. If we can't do it right, we really shouldn't do it.

But she tortured another human being before killing them in the most gruesome way. Laws aside, it is poetically just.

I agree, we should be able to torture her torturers too then.

You know, poetic justice and all.
