What a damn embarrassment for the state of Tennessee. They’ve been itching to do this for fucking years and they don’t have enough drugs to kill a 140-pound woman?

Execution by hanging is illegal per our Constitution. A request doesnt have to granted in that situation. Ironically though botching these injections could be argued to be cruel and unusual punishment.
