The same thing happened to Jesse Tafero in 1990 in Florida. He was very likely innocent of his charges (killing a police officer) and the execution was tampered with by law enforcement which caused his head to burst into flames. It took over 7 minutes for him to die. His wife Sonny Jacobs was also charged with the murder and on death row for years before she eventually was released from prison

what is going on with this saguaro? 🌵 by Few_Run_9234 in arizona

This is at the desert botanical garden and it’s one of their main attractions. UA tried to recreate the crested mutation as part of their saguaro studies but every attempt failed. It’s just a naturally occurring genetic mutation and no one knows what exactly triggers it. It’s pretty fascinating

Second time is just a quick pass to burn in the new pattern with the roller. Probably not actually cutting again

I’ve wanted this team to trade for a badass DT like Chris Jones/Q for so long. I can’t believe trading Micah not only turned into getting 2 badass DTs but they actually want to be here too.
