He was accused of SA a day or two ago, then people found records that he was suspended from UNC for a semester for SA.
The gaming media outlet he's a part of has also let him go.

It's still developing right now, the first person to bring the allegations wasn't the victim and they deleted their original post (might also have been a right wing grifter? Some conflicting info going around). Geller hasn't responded at all. It's not totally set in stone but it looks pretty bad.

    Trump actually legalized it for federal executions not too long ago, and the woman requested essentially "anything but lethal injection" since they keep fucking it up. She was denied, of course. States don't usually do it since, like you mentioned, it's traumatizing for the executioners, and those are the only people being considered here.

    I mean, Iran is enforcing a blockade right now mostly with missile and mines. Although after years of sending gear to Ukraine, NATO might have more trouble than Iran enforcing a blockade, lol.

    I feel like a weapons blockade might still be enough. That kind of thing really only exists as a precursor to invasion.

    Tennessee inmate still alive after being administered two lethal injections, her lawyer says

    She seems to have been hospitalized after the second failed attempt:

    An ambulance was seen arriving at the prison where Pike was to be executed and then leaving. Medical aid was being administered, according to online federal court records.

    She has been on death row for over 30 years for a murder she committed at 18. Article says she has OCD and a history of being abused, the death sentence would almost certainly not have been given nowadays.

    Supoena on page 3 of this file

    The person posting was Roberto Grijalva, a prison guard working at the prison where Epstein was jailed. His name is listed on page 88 of the above document.
    See page 851 of this other pdf with proof of his employment. This apparently did not result in him being fired, as an inmate sued him in 2023 for use of excessive force.
