Corey Rayburn Yung @coreyryung.bsky.social · 01/10/2026No matter the pain, damage, and suffering the botched execution caused, the Constitution won't stop the state from trying to execute Christa Pike again. Louisiana ex rel. Francis v. Resweber, 329 U.S. 459 (1947). 1172
Corey Rayburn Yung @coreyryung.bsky.social · 01/10/2026The facts in ex rel Francis were gruesome, stemming from a failed electrocution.
