I don't believe in classifying "hate crimes" as such, except where the perps want to start a race war, which the Manson cult did. Furthermore, imho murdering beautiful women should call for an especially stiff sentence and strict parole criteria. These bastards killed Sharon Tate! And she was pregnant! Keep them locked up. Throw away the keys.

So murdering a not so beautiful woman deserves a different, less stiff sentence?

After a long period incarceration a condition can occur known as being “institutionalized”.
This means the inmate has been in prison for so long its all they know and sometimes the new found freedom doesn’t set right.

It may be she thinks she wants out, but psychologically speaking she may end up wishing she wasn’t released......we shall see.

It figures. 🙄

Prayers for her to repent while she has time, before she faces final judgement. There's no release from that sentence.

The stiffness of the sentence depends on how stiff the vic makes men. Yup./;&^}

And if the perp is real hot, she gets a lighter sentence.

That’s what happened to the old librarian in Shawshank Redemption.

Hi.

Between you and me I think she will commit a crime before she is 74.

Probably at the halfway home she is assigned.

Theft, unless she is caught in the act... then murder.

Imho.

If someone can’t get the death penalty for killing a pregnant woman for no reason, then what would qualify?

I think Van Houston only participated in the LaBianca murders. Not the Tate murders. So, does this leave only Krenwinkle and Tex Watson in prison?

YES, repentance and faith in Christ are absolutely REQUIRED, for there is salvation in no other Name, but EVERYONE’S Death Penalty of Sin was paid in full on The Cross, and “the people perish for lack of knowledge.”

Now what if life on the outside turns out to be a quick death sentence?

Irony might be rather eager to strike. Would anyone be surprised?

Probably some betting pools out there.

That’s correct.

Susan Atkins said she harmed the pregnant actress then later denied it in prison.

Either way Leslie was not at that one.
