    She tortured, mutilated, and murdered a 19 yo. I don’t believe in the death penalty, but she has absolutely not served her sentence. This should be life without parole, something her lawyers argued for.

      Hey, it doesn’t matter what you believe, the sentence handed down was lethal injection, not life without parole, and she completed that sentence, twice.

      by your logic why don’t we just ditch the legal system and throw everyone accused by the state into a hole forever?

      If you don’t like it, petition the government to change the rules by engaging in the democratic process as is your right

        The law is nothing if not semantics. Technically the sentence handed down was death, not lethal injection. If the sentence was lethal injection then they couldnt have given her a second one in the first place. Lethal injection is just the last remaining legal means to hand down the sentence in most states

        If shes alive, then shes obviously not dead. So she hasn’t completed the terms of the sentence.

        That said, they definitely shouldn’t be killing her in the first place

          Yeah, it’s like, isn’t there some shit in the 8th amendment about cruel and unusual punishments? I’d consider deathedging someone multiple times pretty cruel
