I mean it also helps that he was tried in Texas where they don’t believe in mental health exceptions. She’s being tried in Massachusetts, which has a very different political climate.
He also was only executed in 2018. The actual crime itself dates back to 2001. As a country we have made significant progress regarding mental health, and even the death penalty more generally in the past 2-3 decades. This goes beyond just the differences between states, at that point.
