I love how people pointed out it wasn't a lethal injection in her case, but just an injection. I think it's wild that she could be in jail that long and they only finally get around to it now. The American justice system is just mental.
Yep, seems like fentanyl has a good track record for killing people.
I wonder what happens now. Despite the horror of her crime, I don't think she 'deserves' to die at this point, but then, what kind of life is it on death row? I'd choose the fentanyl.
I have often said that I oppose the death penalty in large part because I do not trust the government enough to believe they can administer just trials and sentences. Besides, the state is in no position to act as a proxy for the victim to seek revenge.
First, if there is no victim, there is no crime, and the jails are full of people who have harmed no one even if the trials were entirely on the up-and-up under the "law."
Second, numerous death penalties have been overturned, sometimes posthumously, because the courts are corrupt and eager for conviction rates over real justice, especially when the prosecutors are almost never held accountable for their actions.
Third, if there is a victim, restitution should be the goal, not revenge. Imagine if she had spent 30 years doing something productive to pay for her incarceration and to support the family of her victim. Instead, victims are taxed for warehousing prisoners.
"Call god and order the return of..."
Closes the case, even if the real criminal escapes.
This is the thing I hate. In the US, prison is a business. What a waste of taxpayer money.
Restitution should always be the goal. Death row is absolutely abhorrent.
Apparently she's unconscious and on a ventilator from the effects of the lethal drugs.
That's crazy. Again at taxpayers expense, not that that's the bigger issue here.
"just an injection"
:D
Seems to go with much of what they do.
I might choose the fentanyl without being on deathrow.
Hahaha. Either that or nice cup of tea mate xx
