I thought of that, too. That was an execution without a trial, too. You are right.
The only execution here in Texas that bothered me was Karla Faye Tucker. She had totally changed her life behind bars, was a model prisoner for many many years, became Christian, and lead other women to Christ. But she met her fate with the confidence that she was forgiven, and going to heaven.
Hopefully she is at peace now. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karla_Faye_Tucker
Tucker later related to her sister Kari Dean Garrett [hereinafter referred to as Kari] that when she and Garrett entered the apartment bedroom, she put a pickax to Dean's head and “told him not to move, m______ucker, or you're dead.” Dean began begging for his life, and Tucker started to strike him with the pickax. Tucker expressed that every time she struck Dean she received sexual gratification. There was a girl hiding under some sheets in the bedroom, and because the lights were on and Dean had said Tucker's name several times, Tucker and Garrett decided to kill her as well. Leibrant testified that, after he was called into the apartment by Garrett, he heard a gurgling noise in the bedroom, walked back to the bedroom, and witnessed Tucker pull the pickax out of a body, smile, and hit it again. Leibrant then left the scene and walked for about an hour before he called Ronnie Burrell to come pick him up. Both Garrett and Tucker were angry with him for leaving the scene, but to make amends he helped Garrett dispose of Dean's El Camino later that evening. Leibrant was not offered any deals for his accomplice testimony except that the judge hearing his cases would be made aware of his cooperation.
Examination of the bodies revealed that Dean had been struck in the head and had several stab wounds. There were a total of 28 stab wounds, 20 of which could have been fatal, along with the fatal skull fracture. Dean's female companion, Deborah Ruth Thorton, also died from multiple stab wounds to the chest and stab wounds and blunt trauma to the back. A pickax like the one recovered at the scene could have caused the wounds that killed both of the decedents.
That this woman had justice served to her should not bother you.
It is good that she had time to repent and make peace with God but she was still deserving of justice as was her victim.
Repentance may save her from the justice of God but justice on Earth reserved for the victim.
When one commits a crime on Earth it is committed against Man and God. On Earth you must answer to the justice meted out by man. After death you answer for the crime against God.
