Pretty compassionate way to kill a person.

Once again, the Law in the south is brutal.

    Was this based on sentencing guidelines at the time?

    But yeah… Brought to you by the same people who convince juries that nullification is not a real thing for malum-prohibitum crimes.

      If it was then why even have a sentencing jury? Wouldn’t that qualify as false hope torture and as such a violation of the 8th amendment?
