33 fewer felonies.

Less rapes of both adult and children. Very possibly less murders too.

I cant believe theyre honestly talking about trying to execute her again. What rationale do the god-fearing people of Tennessee have to try to execute her again after she survived two lethal doses of the drug? If she had miraculously survived a firing line would they try again?

Like Im not a particularly religious person, but this lady said something to the effect of wanting to die in love the same way she had been trying to live with love for the last several decades. Then she somehow survives the execution. Seems to me like she is fairly rehabilitated, and also if there is a god out there he clearly aint done with her yet. Let her live for fucks sake

Well Tennessee, you had your shot. You’re done.

You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow. This opportunity comes once in a lifetime, yo.

Welcome back to hell, you're not getting out this easy

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

she never had it easy to begin with. the least we could do is kill her quickly.

I'm pretty sure she was raped from ages 4-14, her mother not only allowed it but fully endorsed it.

[–] GarboDog@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

They killed her, they get one attempt, she’s free to go now right? /hj

I don’t believe in witchy hoo-haa but she did carve a pentagram into her victim’s chest… I dunno maybe she actually cracked the satanic code and is immortal now /s
