While I agreed her depression at being behind bars often in solitary conditions had her just wanting to die and stop delaying her execution, her mental state wasn’t a stable one to trust that she meant that or that it would have been ok execute the mentally handicapped. She also was trying her best to live a life and connect with people in a positive way all the way until they carried out the penalty. I believe with actually good mental health treatment and being allowed to live with other prisoners healing like her after trauma, she could have had a fine quality of life helping others while safely watched in the system.

Which is precisely why she had to go. Keeping her in a cage for the rest of her life would have been cruel.

She was clearly very mentally ill and if you look at her past you see that she never had a fair chance at life after suffering horrific abuse literally since birth.
