The state should have executed her years ago; she deserved the maximum punishment.
Despite the deeds of the deceased I simply cannot grave dance. I feel our Lord will have her relive her evils and then accept her back into His All Loving embrace. To my mind He made us all in His image and we can never be separate from Him no matter how hard we might try to sever the tie while we’re here.
I figure I’ll take a lot of grief for my type of faith, but it can’t be shaken.

Susan Atkins claimed to be born again. If she truly accepted Christ as her LORD and Saviour she is now in heaven. That's how it works. Christ died and paid for every sin we have ever committed with His precious and holy blood shed for us. All we can do is accept Him and the free gift of eternal salvation. If Susan did this, she is now in heaven forevermore.I agree.
However, the evidence suggests that she didn't really express regret and repent fully. If I were in her situation I would go to every parole hearing and just say that I am sorry for what I did and that I deserve to stay in jail for the rest of my life for what I did.
"What's spending the rest of my life in prison compared to the person I killed?" and "After my death, I will be free for all eternity anyway" is how I would expect someone truly changed to look at it.
She apparently did not do that, or at least it doesn't look that way to me as evidenced by her last parole hearings.
She was in jail for committing murder, it's not like she was innocent or in jail for her faith. Rather than seeking release, she should have spent the remainder of her life in prison preparing to meet her maker and the pregnant woman she murdered after she died.

"I don't have to just make amends to the victims and families," she said softly. "I have to make amends to society. I sinned against God and everything this country stands for." She said she had found redemption in Christianity.The last words she spoke in public at the September hearing were to say in unison with her husband: "My God is an amazing God."
I did not know that. I am assuming by her saying making amends to the victims and families that she did apologize to the families? If so, I hope she was sincere.

No sympathy here. This monster stabbed Sharon Tate more than forty time even as Tate, who was 8 months pregnant, begged for the life of her unborn child. Atkins should have died at the end of rope about 39 years ago.Amen! I am sickened the way the media reports her death. They portray it as if we should feel sorry for her. What do they think a "life sentence" means. It's not a health oriented sentence.

I hope they slapped the cuffs on her before she was released to the funeral home. Now that's tough!

Yup. That was what prompted me to post the pic, for the comments it would elicit.

In God’s view the utter filthiness of her sins
is no different than mine.

In God’s view the utter filthiness of her sins is no different than mine. True. Very few begin to fathom how vile we all are in God's holy, perfect and pure eyes. If more understood this self pride would be obliterated.
