The cook convicted of killing three lunch guests with the world’s most toxic mushrooms was sentenced to three life sentences with a non-parole period of 33 years on Monday, bookending a real-life crime drama that’s gripped Australia and spawned multiple podcasts and documentaries.
I disagree, but only because I strongly believe that anyone commonly considered deserving of the death penalty shouldn’t get such an easy way out; give them a nice, long life sentence. In her case, feed her just enough mycotoxin to keep her perpetually sick but not kill her. Sometimes cruel and unusual is warranted.
