“Teresa then rummaged through her husband’s pockets for money while he was dying.”

Isn’t that sorta what the estate tax does to people?

Don't commit murder in Virginia.

Committing murder in Texas is also a bad idea.

About the title- every execution is the first time, for the executee. They are not going to do it twice in 98 years!

...since the 1912 execution of Virginia Christian. According to the book "Women and the Death Penalty in the United States"..., the 17-year-old African-American maid was convicted of killing her white employer, Ida Virginia Belote, with a broom handle during a fight. Christian then stuffed a towel down Belote's throat, suffocating her,

If she killed Belote with a broom handle how could she have suffocated Belote aftwerwards?

In the world today she could probably get a stay by trying to commit suicide.

I think people had to be killed twice then, like the title of this article suggests.

In England long ago you’d be hung, then drawn and quartered.

Then Python came along and you were hung by the neck until you cheered up.
