The intent of the death penalty is clear. I don't think we're gonna see any of this tv show type court stuff.

I've heard this is why death sentences state "hanged by the neck until dead." Someone survived a hanging at one point and successfully argued that their sentence had been carried out, so they could not be hanged again. I read about it years ago, I don't remember details. All this is to say she might not be able to make that point. Either way, you're right. It's gonna be interesting.

Much of what I've read about the American prison system would qualify as cruel and unusual punishment. The same applies to the Canadian system more than I'd like to admit.

I was thinking how weird it must have been to receive a lethal injection, black out, and then wake up somewhere. That must have been real mind-blowing for a moment.

I don't know how casual it was

They'll probably live stream it too

Can't be barbarians about, now can we?

It's the US, how does someone who is brain dead still have their job on the senate?

were they trying to finish the job by disconnecting her from life support?

I'd imagine so, yes. Clean up the loose ends as it were. Trying, twice, to kill someone and having them still walking around is rather embarassing after all.

Probably the same docs who botched her execution declared her brain dead

No she's a deity.

Normal doesn't mean right, it just means the same as usual, and they didn't even hit that.

Right, do the witnesses spend a lot of their free time watching people get executed enough to have a frame of reference for what it should look like?!

Thank you.
