Because that was the sentence handed down to the person you're talking about.

Her sentence was life without the possibility of parole. Full stop. Of course our legal system has loads of way to appeal or otherwise change a sentence, so that's what we're hearing about here.

Executing people is generally more expensive than incarcerating them for life. Death row inmates are basically entirely separated from gen-pop, and have their own cells, guards, medical staff, etc. (Almost) Everyone on death row appeals the hell out of their death sentence, which usually ends up costing the state a lot more in the long run in terms of court fees.

Also, NH no longer has the death penalty, so if they wanted to retry and execute her (would never happen) I don't think they even could.

Also, this case is/was a national spectacle. All eyes were on the prosecutors and they must have decided that life without parole was a better optic than the death sentence.

That's your prerogative but to put it into perspective, 30 seconds of pain imo beats the weeks of godawful cycles. Surgery hurts too. Also, if you get the right doc for IUDs, they can give you something beyond OTC meds for pain.

The boys are all out of prison, why hasn't she been put into a halfway house by now? Execute her if you're not going to release her and save the taxpayers some money. I was personally in prison (in N.H.) with someone who beat two gay guys to death with his bare hands and served his 26 year life sentence and was paroled. He wasn't sorry, he wasn't remorseful, and he was more of an animal than she ever was.
