You shouldn’t be able to try again. Execute the Epstein pedophiles government!!
If you survive an execution attempt it should be considered cruel and unusual punishment to try again. Obviously you got a pass from the grim reaper, life in prison for you.
With our fucked up system, she can probably sue the state for cruel and unusual punishment, win a judgement, and then be executed by the same system before she can collect it.
I agree, I hope a judge sees it that way too
What absolutely shitty self-proclaimed Christians btw.
Thou shalt not kill*
*Some exclusions apply. Lots of exclusions apply. Actually just go ahead, it's okay.
Translation into modern English is "You shall not murder." I'm not using that as a defense here, though, and what qualified as murder then vs. now is a whole other topic.
If the meaning of the word "murder" is substantially different, your pedantic correction is moot
Some people equate murder and killing. Some people don't equate murder and killing in self-defense. Some people don't equate government-sanctioned killings as murder - certainly governments don't.
If you believe any killing is murder, then "Thou shalt not kill" and "You shall not murder" are the same. If you agree with the general consensus, then they are substantially different.
I oppose the death penalty. Not because it's immoral. I think it's fine and good to kill criminals like Tim McVeigh or Dylan Roof. I just don't trust government and courts to be competent enough.
The State of South Carolina lynched George Stinny, a 14yo boy, in the electric chair. 50 years later, Susan Smith somehow escaped the same fate.
Lynched in an Electric Chair sounds like the name of a post punk industrial band.
There have been a bunch of failed executions with the electric chair, it has also been characterized as "cruel and unusual".
Gross
Double jeopardy should play a role here.
Double jeopardy is about the trial not the sentencing
Nitrogen is the only way to go. Fast, effective, humane, safe (for others), and efficient.
But the suffering is the point.
That's why they botch nitrogen executions so badly that the person basically suffocates to death
Nitrogen, with CO2 flushed away so you don't feel like you're suffocating, with sedative so you can't resist breathing very well. And now we've devised a humane way to engage in a barbaric act.
I guess she might get that all-female firing squad that she asked for.
PPV gladiators yet?
