I am old enough to remember all of this and it was damn scary, tragic and brutal. those of us that lived in LA area were absolutely living in fear.

I...I don't think you are cold-hearted or mean. I am the first one to scoff when a killer whines about cold food or inadequate TV time within prison walls. I know full well their victim's chance at meals & TV are long gone, along with LIFE. <br>I know correctional facilities don't often "correct" & I am more concerned with recidivism than punishment. I don't think there is any true punishment for what Atkins did. I'd let her draw her last breath in free air if she'd killed my loved one 40 years ago. In an odd way that would make me feel better. I know I am in the minority with that feeling, but I can tell you I'd personally feel worse if she was begging to spend her last days with her family & not able to do so. If I considered her a possible recidivist, I'd not feel the same, but I do not. ~MaryAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6403384531250069062.post-88944383935036755972008-07-16T22:18:00.000-07:002008-07-16T22:18:00.000-07:00I SO agree with Mary.

She's in a hospital now, she'd be in a hospital if she was given a "compassionate release." What difference does it make? <br><br>Too bad the state of California will not be able to "pick their battle" here, because I'm sure it will not be worth the money it will cost for them to have to go to court on this one... I'd rather see them spend the money on something that would make a difference. But then, I don't live in California...<br><br>Lisa :-]Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6403384531250069062.post-47204316391212685352008-07-18T16:53:00.000-07:002008-07-18T16:53:00.000-07:00The thing that comes to my mind is that every lega...The thing that comes to my mind is that every legal decision that is made sets a precedent on which future cases can be argued. Perhaps releasing her now is the compassionate thing to do. But where does the next defense lawyer try to go with this precedent? Murder needs to be inexcusable...period. The killer made a choice in committing the crime and is entitled to no more than the consequences that come with it. What more can we do to attempt to guarantee that another does not suffer the fate of Sharon Tate?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
