Did it occur to anyone in the "let her rot" group, why she is the longest tenured female prisoner in California? If you think it is because her crimes were the most "horrific", think again. All of the other murderers who were paroled, had less visible, less politically and media sensitive cases, even if their crimes were more callous, more violent or involved greater number of victims.

You appear ugly in your reaction to this, and unresponsive when it comes to REAL, contemporary crimes where your forceful, condemning tone could be constructive...it isn't here....it puts some of us....we don't know you, when you post this way.....don't want to know you.....

So easy to lash out at this terminally ill woman, so difficult to accept that we have some responsibility for our president's violent, illegal policies and actions. A quick, hard response to the question of what should be the fate of this woman, only silence or rationalizations about the officially sanctioned, avoidable, unnecessary serial killing, of this decade.

I'm guessing this is why things are the way that they are. Justice won't even begin until we accept that it must be pursued.
Really? You can actually in your heart of hearts link these violent crimes with presidential actions? Amazing.

EDIT: nevermind, I just saw your post in the Meet the Press: Tim Russert passes away it speaks tomes of your state of being.

To those that think she's a harmless old lady... so what. Think of the precedent this sets and allowing the release of some of the worst criminals if they become terminally ill. If that isn't a frivilous use of the court systems. Hell, maybe if they are denied, her lawyer will pony up something like "cruel and unsual punishment" angle since cancer doesn't feel very good at all....

Dennis Rader, BTK Killer responsible for 10 murders, if he in the future gets some terminal disease, we should let him out in the twilight months of his life.

Joel Rifkin, no cool name, in fact no one would have caught him for a while longer had it not been for the missing license plates on his truck, responsible for 17 murders.

Jeffrey Dahmer who killed 17, converted to Christianity to ask God for forgivness of his sins. Had he not been killed by another inmate, maybe he could have been let out too.

Richard Ramierez, Night Stalker, killed 14 people, maybe he should be let out now because he's Mexican-American.

People think that murderers can be rehabilitated, so there's no Megan's Law when they are paroled. They can live in silence among us, but yet a convicted sex offender (note I did not state child molester since not all are) I have many options of finding out who and where they live. Great.. nice to feel uncomfortable since I have a sex offender (this one a child molester) who lives 3 floors above me.
