Kobojunkie:
The sentence that was given for the crime she committed was death. Reflection has nothing to do with it. 😒😒

IMPARTIAL:
➜She should still pay for the crime... Maybe life imprisonment, not a death sentence.

Afriifa:
In my opinion, she has already being prison for so long enough. Thus, a life sentence is more decent than killing. She was 18 years old acting on perhaps impulses. 30 years behind bars already in regret.

PythagonArts:
➜If that's the case, it's still wrong. laws should protect people, not punish them. She was young na. she should have been rehabilitated

Kobojunkie:
The Justice system is not built to bring back person's from death. It is instead designed to ensure each person is met with equal and fair repercussions/punishment for crimes committed. Simple! 😒😒

PythagonArts:
I'm saying that punishment-based justice system should be abolished infavour of restorative justice which focus on healing.

victoryenergy:
So she should be allowed to live, is that what you are trying to say?

Afriifa:
Kill her so the victim will return back to life

Kobojunkie:
Again, the Justice system is a system that focuses solely on ensuring equal and fair repercussions/punishments for crimes committed; it is not a miracle working system or a psychiatric system. 😒😒

Afriifa:
➜isn't it odd that she is the first?
➜does that mean she has commited the worst crime in the state?

Kobojunkie:
Focuses on healing what? A girl was brutally tortured and killed; her killer bragged about the killing while showing off a piece of the dead girl's skull. What is there to heal? Who is healing whom exactly in this restorative system of yours? How does this restorative system heal the victim and the actions perpetrated against the victim for which the law had to step in? 😒😒

PythagonArts:
Killing her will not bring the sister back. I don't know your religion but revenge is not something you should celebrate.

Belurved1:
Oga answer the question first. If naa your sister be the victim, will you tell them to free her?

illicit:
So they let her live for another 30 years

Well she's 48 now

She is fit enough for the ride...

Kobojunkie:
So, if someone murders your child or mother, the law should be bent to allow the person to live freely on taxpayer money for life, too? 😒😒

higgs:
She definitely should be executed.People who don't value the lives of others should not expect their own lives to be valued by society. Rubbish

The woman in the photo is Christa Gail Pike. She is currently the only woman on Tennessee's death row and, having been sentenced at just 20 years old, is often noted as the youngest woman ever sentenced to death in the U.S.

The crime occurred in January 1995 when Pike was an 18-year-old attending a Job Corps program in Knoxville, Tennessee .

Driven by jealousy involving her boyfriend, Pike and two accomplices (her boyfriend and another student) lured 19-year-old Colleen Slemmer into the woods. For over about 30 minutes, they tortured and beat Slemmer, carving a pentagram into her chest. Pike delivered the fatal blow by striking her skull with a chunk of asphalt .

Prosecutors described it as an act of "extraordinarily brutal" cruelty.

After nearly 30 years of appeals, Pike's execution is currently scheduled for September 30, 2026 . If carried out, she would be the first woman executed in Tennessee in over 200 years .

Though her lawyers are currently fighting the sentence through a clemency petition and a religious-liberty lawsuit regarding the lethal injection process.

Do you think she should be executed?

🇺🇸 TENNESSEE WILL EXECUTE ITS FIRST WOMAN IN OVER 200 YEARS, ON SEPTEMBER 30.

➜You are misunderstanding me. I'm talking about comforting the victim's family, the community,
➜ and addressing the root causes of the issues.
➜ so that the same thing will not repeat it self again.
➜ if you are just focused on punishment and retribution. how will that make the society better?

PythagonArts:
I cannot answer that. But what I can tell you from an unbiased point of view is that forgiveness is virtue we should embrace as a society

PythagonArts:
➜It's not even your tax money. so I don't know why care so much

arceem:
It will cruel to call her Animal , because most Animals are not as wild as we think

This is a Beast , A demon ….in human form..

➜Don't mind all these "advocates". The most important impact is "DETERRENCE". Death penalty serves as the most vital societal signal to deter others from ever contemplating murder. Any society that abolishes the death penalty really has no true value for human life in the real sense of it.

Tonnyray:
➜It is actually society that needs to heal from the scourge of ever experiencing such monsters in human flesh.

Kobojunkie:
1. The legal system has nothing to do with the victim's family. That job is solely for the medical/psychiatric/religious systems to handle as the family chooses. These are not victims and are hence outside the purview of the justice system. 😒😒

2. The root cause is not unknown here. A human chose to violate another human being's right to life and liberty-- a victim was made --, leading to the justice system stepping in to ensure the violator is justly penalized for the crime committed. Note that the justice system activates only when a victim is created. 😒

3. As long as you have living, breathing humans, the chances of the same repeating itself remain normal. Justice does not serve as a deterrent for crime. Criminals will always be criminal-ing. Rather, the justice system serves the purpose of ensuring those who violate the laws are met with equal and just consequences for their actions. Again, this is simple! 😒

4. To make society better, you have laws. That is what laws are. They are there to ensure that those who violate society are met with consequences. And we have law enforcement out and about to enforce those laws. Whereas we have the Justice system to ensure violators are punished according to the law. 😒😒

Community members, businesses, and groups can, while operating within the confines of the law, engage in actions that help beautify and enhance the experiences that people are able to have within society all within the confines of the law. They cannot go beyond or above the law in doing so. 😒

Belurved1:
Whatever you wouldn’t want done to you, don’t do it to others. Treat people the way you would want to be treated.

If you can forgive her, just say Yes.... simple, and if you can't just say No.

Afriifa:
Kill her so the victim will return back to life

Kobojunkie:
It is not my tax money? Na magic money dem be dey use abi wetin? 😒😒

Afriifa:
I believe you are a Christian. So ask yourself what Christ would have you do in this case if you were the mother. Also it is important to know if you are a devoted Christian or just a Christian in the ordinary sense of the word without devotion .

Kobojunkie:
Forgiveness is a mental delusion that individuals have the freedom to engage in. It is an emotional decision that should be left between humans. However, when it comes to matters that go beyond the individual... the societal contract that is the law... such ideas as forgiveness are nothing but a joke or ridicule of the people. That contract/glue that holds society together is the law, and when applied and effectively implemented, the Law has no place for such delusions as forgiveness. 😒😒
