            Naw it shows you shouldn't listen to sentient beans. Ima still look for it, though. It's probably me not remembering.

        where did you hear this? that doesn't match the details of any of the 13 victims of the state of california since it resumed murdering people by death penalty in 1992, and prior to that harris wasn't a prosecutor, yet.

        she's a ghoul, to be sure, and defended the constitutionality of the death penalty in california on the grounds that it takes too long to deliver "justice" to victims by murdering people, rather than for any reason that would betray a shred of humanity. but i don't think this particular story of yours is true.

            There's also Ricky Ray Rector

            For his last meal, Rector requested and received a steak, fried chicken, cherry Kool-Aid, and pecan pie. As noted above, Rector left the pie on the side of the tray, telling the corrections officers who came to take him to the execution chamber that he was "saving it for later."

            ...

            Despite Rector's mental state, then-Arkansas Governor Bill Clinton made a point of returning to Arkansas to oversee Rector's January 24, 1992, execution during the 1992 U.S. presidential election campaign.

          Might even mixed up separate incidents, since I can't find a hint of such an event. There's a bunch of articles talking about her position of the death penalty, and they all mention the same things two: she promised not to pursue the death penalty as a DA and held to her promise even against a cop killer, but then as attorney general she appealed and won a case that initially ruled California's death penalty unconstitutional.

        Mod deleted my post to prevent me from living in shame. I'm now confused about it, too. I swear it was a talking point during the 2019 primaries going into the 2020 election. Now whenever I search, I can't find anything that isn't from 2024.

        Maybe I've been bamboozled (again).

      And "a felon" should never become President? Wot? Like Presidents don't commit crimes, that people aren't convicted unjustly, and that people become rehabilitated. This election has been really telling...
