First, I am not against the death penalty. I think it should be applied when there is no doubt of guilt for the most severe crimes.

Second, she was 18 at the time of her crime is and 50 now. No 50 year old is the same person they were at 18. She has lived most of her life in prison. Why not just keep her there and end the drama?

Third, and most importantly, what is going on with the "botched" executions? It is 2026. Anesthesiologists exist. They make people unconscious for surgery every day. Use the same process as they use to put someone to sleep for surgery and administer a second drug that stops the heart.

A few years ago I had to euthanize my dog. He was a 130lb beast. I laid on the floor next to him during the entire process. They gave him one shot to make him unconscious. Once that worked, they gave him another shot to stop his heart. He never made a sound or movement that would indicate any pain. He just peacefully drifted off. I am not a doctor (or a vet) but it seems like this shouldn't be so complicated.
