It was a halfway house for "nonviolent parolees".
Could plea bargains have reduced his prior crimes to nonviolent?

From the story:

Lynch had been living since April 5 in Hope House, a halfway house Klimczak founded in 1989 for nonviolent ex-convicts, police said. Authorities could provide few details on his criminal history but said he had stolen property in the past.

Police Commissioner H. McCarthy Gipson said that Lynch called the killing "an accident" and that he was in Klimczak's room trying to steal her cell phone when she came home Friday evening.

Lynch also confessed to being high on drugs, police said.

You just cannot help some people.

I don't see how that fits this situation, either. Seems like the wrong quote.

---Craig Lynch, 37, confessed to killing Sister Karen Klimczak but said it was an accident---

How do you strangle someone to death by accident, Craig? Put him in a holding cell with a bunch of Hispanics that know he killed a nun.

"the road to hell"

This situation is not what that phrase refers to. This is a women who lived like Christ. Selfless and humble. A true
Christian. God bless her soul, she was a better person than I will ever be.

I doubt if she's resting. She's probably having a great time with the angels and everyone up there.

She ran this halfway house for almost 20 years. It's a shame her goodness was in the end betrayed so brutally. At least he had the decency to bury her.

RIP Sister Klimczak.

Probably a misapplication of the quote but at this rate the perp is probably on the road to hell after murdering a nun with good intentions.

Who murders a nun trying to provide help? Such things are beyond any hope of being rationalized.

Why is this the road to hell?? Because she helped ex-cons? Probablybecause ex-cons are liberals or something. I swear, Freepers just don't get it.

Like I said, Freepers don't get it. Why was she clueless? Because one bad man killed her? This invalidates her mission?

Christ came to heal the sick.

This place disappoints more and more everyday.
