It's because of a Texas specific law for overcrowding, I'm just glad at least they haven't decided to execute her. I don't agree with the death sentence, a state should not have the power to execute its citizens, it's just government controlled murder. Clearly what she did is abhorrent though.
I remember a person once saying that sending our armies to invade another country is "Government-maintained genocide". I like how it was back in the day, when they would have multiple people aim a gun at the prisoner, and all shoot. (Only one person had a real bullet, the rest were blanks.) But it made it less likely that you were the murderer, and then leave you with the guilt.
