While I understand that what Christa did was a heinous crime, we need to revisit the "lethal injection" conversation. It's not always lethal, as we've seen, and she's not the first nor the last person to go through this. Also, the injection is expensive and painful, even if they do die from it.

While I believe in the death penalty for the most dangerous and heinous crimes, we need to also look at things from a humane perspective. This isn't it. If anything, it's just another way that pharmaceutical companies are getting contracts and making more money off of the American people.

Let this reporter describe what it must have felt like to the murdered victim because the killer felt mean that day. I'll wait.

I wonder if the bible thumping supporters of the death penalty are wondering why their invisible friend intervened in this horrific event? That should be a sign to them to rethink the whole thing.
