I don't know much but I do know she admitted to the murder.
She's also had several instances of assautling other inmates.
Murder ONLY applies to the innocent.
Killing falls under any living thing; animals kill other animals.

"Do not murder." - Matthew 19:18
"Eye for an eye." - Personal retaliation such as an insult or non-life threatening injury.

He DID teach about civil justice.
John 19:10–11
Jesus before Pilate
Jesus acknowledged that Pilate's authority came from above, while holding those who handed Him over accountable for their wrongdoing.

This indicates that earthly authority is not independent of God's authority. It does not mean that every exercise of governmental power is automatically just.

Genesis 9:5–6

God declares that human bloodshed will require an accounting and says that whoever sheds human blood will have their blood shed by humans.

Romans 13:1–4

Paul describes governing authorities as servants of God who punish wrongdoing and says that the ruler “beareth not the sword in vain” (KJV).

 

[zeth4500]

the best way to test someone is to give them power, that is what god does. i BELIEVE god has handed me some things that could be used wrong and that i was itching for, either that was just before or right after i turned to christ.
that is why god puts people in power so they can prove themselves
just as he lets the weeds grow, so they will be undeniable and easy to identify and they may easily be seperated out and... thrown in the blazing fire of hell- amen.
i have in many instances been put infront of someone else that i could sense could do both right and wrong, im not blameless but i'd like to think im a bit more so than most. just recently me and my wife was violated by a whole organization, i contacted lawyer right away and he said these people are impossible to touch.
about a week ago the whole place shut down. i believe i was used as a witness to their injustice, they called us to travel for a whole day, spending 200 euros, damaging our health just for them to tell us face to face that they are not able to give us the service they called us in for- which they almost certainly already knew.
we must not rejoice over others suffering, but gods mighty decisions and gods unwavering justice, that is why we must turn the other cheek (i get there are multiple ways to interpret it, but i still believe its totally solid to literally turn the other cheek and let the abusers violate you once again)

we cant ever comprehend the majestic clockwork god has for all his plans, and all his people and everyone and everything in the world and beyond. no matter how awful a day it is we must submit ourselves that gods plan is probably more wise than what we could ever comprehend. we must be as blameless as possible and let god sort the rest, taking christianity seriously is sorta like becoming apathic to the sorrounding world and just living in accordance with scripture
