Oh man, I can't even imagine what is going through her mind. I didn't want her to be put to death but it sounded like she was at peace with it (except the process) and now won't they just want to do it again? 😭

The tortuous, botched execution of Christa Pike is truly horrifying. And while it feels unique in some ways, in reality it is also only the latest in a history of botched executions going back years — YEARS — in numerous states. Please know: this is the reality of the death penalty in this country.
