Interesting. I never knew that about it’s etymology.

I just looked it up quickly and it seems to be way more nuanced than that. According to at least one article, it was used prior to the first electrical execution in 1899 as a means of referring to a non-fatal shock.

Either way, I think it’s splitting hairs. It’s common and acceptable usage anymore to use that term meaning a non-fatal shock. So the clarification in the title doesn’t come across as redundant to me.

Could have just been injured. Electrocution doesn’t always mean death.

According to Miriam-Webster, the definition of electrocuted is:

to kill or severely injure by electric shock

I agree with your overall points but wanted to call out that she got hit with a felony and a misdemeanor.

I don’t really know the ins-and-outs of the legal system, but I really hope that felony charge gets reduced or, at a minimum, doesn’t follow her around into adulthood. Would be a shame for her record to be marred like that long-term for a misguided prank pulled when she was 11.

Psychedelics have helped me to retain those feelings long after the trip has ended (some indefinitely, at least at time of writing this). I never appreciated a cool breeze until one of those experiences (I always wanted to cover up and shield myself from it before). Now, whenever I feel a cold wind or cool breeze, I appreciate it so much more because of that past experience.

Sly way for the article to be titled. It’s almost as if they’re trying to mask Meta/Facebook being the owner of it.

I will return anything sent to me in an Amazon package.

I went directly to your site for a reason, which is to avoid Amazon. If you secretly fulfill from Amazon or Amazon Warehouses, I will return the item and shop elsewhere.
