Okay....Tully, under your argument of "if she wasn't parole material at her last parole hearing.....", everyone who is rejected the first time they apply for parole, would be disqualified the subsequent times that they were eligible for a psrole hearing. If you're saying nothing changes in favor of granting parole, in between hearings spaced 3 to 6 years apart....it looks like several things have changed since Atkins last hearing....she lost a leg and contracted a terminal illness shortening her medically diagnosed life expectancy to less than six months, qualifying her to apply for compassionate release....a program designed for inmates in between parole hearing dates.......Cynthetiq, CR release would interfere with her sentence how....since she is not serving a life W/O parole sentence? Are you saying that parole or CR release of anyone serving a life with possibility of parole is interfering with sentencing judge's sentence. A judge had to sign the existing sentence....it is not life W/O parole. BOR....she's served 39 yeqrs, she has a spouse to care for her...pay for her care..he's got a Harvard law degree.... What is behind objections? Why is there such a strong opinion to punish...to death....no matter what....this woman? I want her only to be given what any other convicted murderer in Cal. would be given, in similar circumstances W/O media hyped politics of the crime. She killed how many victims while exhibiting depraved indifference, probably without personal premeditation. Was she the ringleader, was she young and under the influence of a messianic older leader? How has her record been in prison? Was she denied parole last time more because of politics or her own crimes, conduct in prison, lack of convincing remorse and rehab. Is she still considered a threat to society? Has any other terminally ill female convicted of murder who served more than 39 years and has a willing spouse with financial means to assume her care, been denied CR in Cal.? I see your bent for justice it is strong...but it doesn't seem to include an "equal treatment" requirement....so is it even the justice you claim is the reason for throwing away the key, until death. in the case of Atkins?
