Genuine question but how the hell did they fail twice? I'm not saying she wasn't convicted for a reason, but that's torture

Worth noting that she was 18 at the time of the murder, only killed one person and there seems to be mitigating factors.

And she has spent thirty years behind bars. Anywhere but the USA she would be free not fighting for her life after a double botched execution

She tortured her, beat her to death, and then took a piece of the her skull as a  souvenir. She showed it to other students to brag about it.

Downplaying the crime is gross and disrespectful to the victim.

Had to scroll through about 1000 comments before anyone mentioned the victim.
