        She was 19. Had been abused herself, and had fetal alchohol poisoning. If she’d had spent the last 30 years being rehabilitated, she’d be a very different person from that fucked up 19-yo.

      The sentence is death, not poked with a needle. The system got this one right up to that point, it wasn’t a complicated case. The system could still do better and needs to change, but she really doesn’t need to be the one who goes free because of that.
