I'm honestly not trying to be flippant, but....can you imagine what it was like for her to know (for those few seconds when she could still think) that she had made a horribly stupid decision? It must have been horrible for her to have not only realized she was going to die, but that she had chosen poorly in what she had done. How pathetic. How sad. What a waste.
She probably expected the ACLU to save her up to the end. Good riddance.
