Last-minute rescheduling is so rude! What if she had other plans?

This is almost as silly as the “botched execution kills inmate” headlines.

Gotta love this first sentence from CNN....
“Not since Lena Baker, an African-American convicted of murder in Randolph County, has Georgia executed a woman.”

Just can’t help themselves can they.

I assume this is because of the others involved such as witnesses, doctors, medical,
pick up body, etc and the inclement weather that may well shut down roads, etc. They
didn’t give a reason that I saw but I only scanned the article.

Just stick the body outside in the snow, the ice should keep the body in good condition until the coroner gets there.

Recall the old Mel Brooks movie? The executioner said,"I'm sorry. All booked up. Can't possibly work him in until Tuesday!" Or words to that effect.

Does she get two last meals since todays last meal must have been ordered already?

Jackson, GA is south of Atlanta and is expected to rain and not likely to get snow.
