It is anti-climactic because whether she gets the DP or not, the outcome is the same:
- going to the same prison
- living in the same size cell
- will spend the rest of her life there, and it will be without any chance of parole
The only difference will be if her appeals are paid for by the state or not. If she gets the DP it will be paid for by the state. If not, she'll have to fund those herself.
Either way here's the actual outcome: she will spend the rest of her life at Perryville and will not be executed, even if she is given a DP sentence.
And here's another statistic: if she's given a DP, then she'll actually be safer in prison because she'll be housed in a different unit. If she gets LWOP she'll be subject to whatever violence may come her way being a part of the prison population, notorious, and a lifer.
Either way, not a sentence anyone would relish.
