Long drop with an exercise band should be quite the sight.

Just have the men dress up like women, that’s all that really matters, right?

She has already served 30 years. At this point, why not commute the sentence to life without parole? I would prefer to see justice evenly applied. When so many "teens" commit brutal murders every day of the week, why not execute them too? Seems racist to kill the white girl, but let the dark laddies off the hook.

Imagine the body is sitting in a chair, like an electric chair.

But the head has put in a mask to limit movement.

That is inside a box.

At the other end of the box are two tubes for a 50 cal round, rapidly expanding to hit the cranium.

Guaranteed not much is felt nor for long. It exceeds the speed by which the body can sense things or communicate a signal.

All left over debris is contained by the box which can either be incinerated, buried with the corpse, or cleaned and reused.

Okay. The precedent has been established. No lethal injection for her; compassionate execution by exercise band.

That’s funny - an all-female firing squad? It might take a while...

I have the opposite view. A very slow and agonizing death. Televised as a warning to wannabe murderers.

Offer her a transgender firing squad and see what happens.

That’s what I’m thinking. A very sly and clever delaying tactic. She knows good and well direct execution in the U.S. remains mostly a Man’s Job.

The other aspect, of avoiding a lethal injection, I cannot blame her for wanting to do that. Everyone has heard those horror stories of doctors unable to find a good vein w/o turning the prisoner into some kind of pin cushion.

It is no big deal the drama of FINDING A VEIN is made much of.

MEDIA dramatics.

Her boyfriend, her cohort in crime, was Tadaryl Shipp. You don’t have to look.

There are certain external factors that reflect on your maturity and judgment skills. While not all white women who date black men have issues, enough of them do to create a pattern.

Do they have issues that lead them to date black guys or do they develop issues after they date black guys?

Since when do the inmates get to choose their executioner?

This is a hail Mary to throw a monkey wrench into the execution proceedings.

Probably thought up by her lawyer or anti death penalty groups, the idea is they won’t be able to put together that many females willing to participate in a firing squad.
