Lifetime has featured some compelling true crime films as of late, mostly centering on notorious real life female killers. In February 2020, Lifetime released a film about Stacey Castor, fittingly titled, Poison Love: The Stacey Castor Story, starring Nia Vardalos as the titular murderess. Stacey Castor murdered both of her husbands via antifreeze poisoning, and in 2007, she even resorted to attempting to poison her own daughter, Ashley Wallace, and framing her for the murders of her father and her stepfather. Ashley survived the attempt, and Stacey was arrested and later convicted of the murder of her second husband and the attempt on Ashley. She was sentenced to serve 51 years in prison, though Stacey died in prison in 2016.

Sometimes things go horribly wrong during the execution, causing the inmate excruciating pain and suffering.

Packing for the trip goes relatively easily, save for the three different trips I have to make to three different stores to find Millie a properly fitting snow suit. “And boots,” Tucker had told me. “She needs snow boots.” Ignoring the fact that she is not even close to walking yet, a separate issue that I am already worried enough about, do you know that no one stocks snow boots for a nine-month-old? I was able to find some on Amazon, but they wouldn’t ship in time. I get a couple pairs of really thick socks and some too large rain boots. That should be good enough.
