    They have to wait until she’s a bit healthier before she can be murdered again.

      Alas, murders are illegal killings. When it’s state sanctioned, it’s just regular old killing

          Sadly so.

          It’s supposed to serve as a check against mob rule, but it works as the opposite in the worst way

    I’ve said it before, but if they want the harshest punishment possible for her and other murderers, then they should not execute her.

    The woman is 50. She’d be just as dead at the end of a life sentence, but if you execute her now, you just let her skip decades of horrendous and super-crappy prison life.

Why create new news community? I’m tired of getting banned by crazy lemmy moderators under made up reasons for posting news articles (likely reddit subversive operation).
Also most of news communities are empty - this one will be full of content.
So i’m now creating my own community. everyone welcome, let’s tear reddit down together.
