A judge applied the law & ordered the state to carry out a sentence.The state tried to kill her as the law required. Now the state is working hard to keep her alive so as not to be cruel & unusual. Once she recovers, they will attempt to kill her again, as the law requires. Do I have this right?

Apparently Marsha wants to bring back the electric chair…

So you'd stick someone in a cell for 50 years?

My state too. I am heartsick. If it weren't for the life my husband & I have built here (kids, grandkids, etc etc) I would be long gone.

If you survive the death sentence, shouldn’t you go free. I refer you to the last season of Torchwood.

A stain on the system itself. Something is fundamentally broken.

If a jury/state decides to execute someone, do it painlessly, in the most efficient means possible. Had horses; one, severely injured had to put him down. Hired a backhoe operator to dig a whole. My vet prepared a shot. I walked away crying. Heard a loud thump; it was instant. He did not suffer. 😢

It's truly gross. Appalling.

It's grotesque and I feel ashamed of our seeming love for death.

Double jeopardy! Executed but didn’t die. Sad and pathetically incompetent.

Barbaric.

What a funny country.

I think by ‘all involved’, you mean ‘Americans’.

They didn't know she was suffering at first. Anyways she should appeal to the United Nations and if that doesn't work to U.N observers like N.G.Os and big businesses.

UNBELIEVABLE CRUELTY!!!

i think they got the idea from ernest goes to jail

my man the government literally assassinated several civil rights leaders + gary webb obama merc'd a u.s. citizen with a drone to say nothing of what washington has done to foreigners in other countries (abu ghraib, the genocidal bombing of north korea, etc.) "morality" has never existed in d.c.

Here’s what I don’t get, what’s the criteria that makes this method or any, “humane”. Seems to me the most humane would be the swiftest. Not the most “sciency”.

I think she should have been spared after the first failed.

Saw this situation in a movie somewhere 🤔

And the kicker is, those doing the torturing and killing likely feel utterly righteous about what they've done.

Maybe no one should be killing anyone, IDK 😶🤬😟

But right now they are keeping her alive on a ventilator so they can kill her later.

After 2 botched attempts, they took her to a hospital emergency room to try to save her life, so that once they figure out what went wrong, they can try killing her for a 3rd time. This seems like a What Would Dolly Do? moment, Tennessee. I think she would commute this woman's death sentence.

Joe Biden banned executions using the pentobarbital protocol because of how painful & cruel it is.. But Trump overturned that as soon as he got elected 💣 Christa Pike's failed lethal injection attempt: What is pentobarbital & why did Biden ban it? | The Independent share.google/2Tu7aw1u1EeO...

JFC. Every god damn day the US shows itself to be a morally bankrupt country. Capable of unimagined cruelty. Who are you 🇺🇸? Asking for all of your supposed allies.

Just go to YT and see the comments, a howling virtual pulpit of Christians screaming with delight

Tennessee truly is anti-woman.

There used to be a time when it was "God's Will" that you should walk free if an execution failed. But that was a time when execution was "Death by Hanging" which frequently went awry.

If you’ve ever cracked that Bible and actually read to understand, you wouldn’t want to be associated with those terrorists. Unless, of course, you’re a terrorist also.

Apparently they have had to go to a 1 drug IV solution since pharmaceutical companies won't sell them the other 2 drugs for moral reasons. And they have to find someone that can insert an iv correctly.

Torture is part of every dictatorship.

I really, really want Jerri Green to be our Governor. I'm not rich enough for Marsha to care about me.

The United States of Sadism

Australia abolished the death penalty half a century ago while the US is in the top 5 nations for execution with Saudi Arabia, Iran, China. Somalia A cruel and barbaric nation .

The fact that Trump and his goons made it a priority to reverse the pentobarbital ban supports once again this administration’s “Cruelty for Cruelty’s Sake” policies and practices

Sounds about right.

ps. Did you know? The USA is a moral stain on the world, ever since 9/11? And Israel, which already was an Apartheid state, became one on 10/7? Do you understand the implications for your nations?

In Ukraine they call it a double tap.

At least in the middle ages if the attempt was botched you could argue God spared you and be on your way.

Civilised nations checking in on WTF is going on in America:

Should come under 8A "cruel and unusual punishment"

he was ready to kill Pence...what are we ready for?

Capital punishment itself is a stain upon society, and it is fiscally irresponsible. Because The State ends up assuming the cost of the Appeals Process, the final cost of executing someone far outweighs the cost of imprisonment for his or her natural life.

As soon as she's feeling up to it, round two. It's truly insane. Someone should finish her off before she recovers. We'd do this for a pet.

to suffer through it once is truly horrifying but twice is beyond comprehension, to do it a third time would be a crime against humanity itself. i am not saying commute her sentence, just do not try to execute her again.

It's a shocking thing to hear .im sorry

Pentobarbital is cheap though and they don't care.

Worse the Governor stated how the state needed to make sure to kill quickly, follow the constitution but did not, at any point, state that there is also an obligation to be humane. At this point if they try to kill her again there is little humanity left in our nation. ENOUGH.

Pure rot gut, not available in most of Canada 🇨🇦 where BTW we do not have capital punishment!

ewwwwww

Dolly.

I think the same, her brains gotta be screwed after that.

If she doesn’t fully recover, she probably can’t be executed.

We have concentration camps in America, masked, armed and unidentifiable Gestapo thugs kidnapping people and murdering Americans on our streets, and SCOTUS just gave our government the right to traffic human beings. There isn’t much that surprises me anymore… the fascists are running amok. VOTE!

A firing squad has to be more humane than this.

I was always under the impression that, if you fail to put down a person after trying numerous times, don’t they have to go free? I’m not condoning murder, but, multiple tries isn’t good either.,

This brings up a horrible memory for me. Over 20 yrs ago, I was at the vet b/c my beloved cat had severe diabetes and had to be euthanized. The first shot didn't take b/c his blood stream was so saturated with sugar, it took a 2nd shot to finally let him have peace. It was horrible for us both! 😢

In days of yore, a failed execution could not be attempted a second time, e.g. if the hangman’s rope snapped.

Good point.

The universe is telling them..... but they dont care to listen.

And how TF at this point do they screw it up? It’s not like they are being so kind it doesn’t take.

Yikes 😬, ew...so horrible

In a civilized society...

1943 Supreme Court decision, "In Re Resweber" held 5-4 that "death by installments" doesn't violate Double Jeopardy nor 8th Amendment because botched executions are just happy accidents & not intentional. Otherwise billions could get away with murder if they knew they couldn't be executed twice.

Unbelievable until you realise it’s “merica” where this happened.

they’ve done it with people they tortured when they couldn’t locate a vein, got a dosage wrong or miscalculated, botched electrocutions are horrible, none ever leave the room alive with the exception of TN’s 2 most recent attempts, death penalty supporters will tell you the extra pain is deserved

Sickening 🤬

It seems to sum up America at this time.

That was without any doubt cruel or unusual punishment and our founders banned it.

If you fail the first time, that's horrendous. Just amateurs in a professional job.

This is state-sanctioned sadism. Torture as a form of capital punishment. The U.S. is disgusting. Just abolish the death penalty, you barbarians!

Even Ygor in "Son of Frankenstein" got let off after one failed execution.

😒

Once again the Supreme Court makes their mark.

Murder is bad. Murder her.

youtube.com/shorts/tvtJp... #pike #truecrime #execution

I read up on the crimes as well, they are so heinous. And yet, still anti-death penalty. Even for her. For anyone.

And they claim to be pro-life

They don’t care. It was sport. Next time it will be pay per view.

they can't now, coz the data centers need all the electricity they can get.

Well, it is Murica after all.

Cruel and unusual, yes?

Government incompetence... if at first you don't succeed fry, fry again 🫤

youtu.be/8K1nfsUejV8?...

Give Malcom Gladwells podcast series on the Alabama Murders a listener, its eye opening on what goes on with lethal injection.

I find it repugnant that, on top of everything else, a small number of people are invited to come and watch it take place like some kind of freak show. I also question the state of mind of those who go along. A stain on American society and it has no place in a civilized country.

I'm going to use a term I've heard my whole life to solve this, "It was Gods Will". Let her serve out her life behind bars.

Its not only immoral it violates the prohibition of the "cruel and unusual punishment" clause of the Constitution.

This has to stop. Governor halted all executions for now.

It’s sickening.

I’ll be all for the death penalty as soon as it’s applied equally across all races, castes, genders and incomes. In other words, never.

Classic Tennessee

I mean tbqh it's always been a little weird to me that they don't

The Eighth Amendment to the constitution, part of the Bill of Rights, states, “….nor cruel or unusual punishments inflicted”. I cannot fathom that ‘third (injection) time’s a charm’ or ‘now let’s use an electric chair’ is not ‘cruel or unusual’.

It really is sickening, isn't it!!

They love violence. It’s the whole Point

Just read this and my immediate reaction was profound disgust What are we doing😳🤦 www.yahoo.com/news/article...

I remember a guy arguing that his botched execution met the terms of his sentence amd he should be set free. Court did not agree

”Crime and punishment are conventionally spoken of as if they were opposites, yet both are committed in the name of morality and justice, and both use violence as the means by which to attain those ends. So not only are their end identical, so are their means.”(Gilligan, 2003)

This is old hat for us. Sincerely The State of Idaho

Reminiscent of Mary , Queen of Scotts botched execution in 1587, almost 500 years in the past. State executions are still inhumane , gruesome and ineffective .

💔

The wording of the reporting is the most damning. The prisoner being executed was rushed to hospital for life-saving treatment. 😳

Really sickening that SCOTUS was involved in saying, sure, go ahead and kill her.

Have you been to Tennessee?

Have you seen the cancer in our government? We bombed girls school and weddings, bombed civilian fishing boats daily, kidnap people off streets & let them die in prison camps, we let pregnant women die by preventing medical care. There would be a moral stain if there was any morality left.
