“Do your duty as a citizen and lobby your representative to make drug use, car theft, and hit and run punnishable by death.”
She pretty much did that all by herself.
Get arrested for drug charges and car theft and RUN from officers doesn’t usually end well. But, since she wasn’t smart enough to figure out drug use, stealing and running into people with a stolen car (without a drivers license no less) her life wasn’t exactly going to end well no matter what. And since her mother had also been arrested for the same things what else could you expect?!
Except you are overlooking a little detail we call “due process”.
