This is a few months old - but I couldn't find anything more recent.

She didn’t happen to live in the Chicago area in 1982, did she?

Let’s face it: prison is just mean and doesn’t conform to our evolving standards of decency.

Let’s just let everyone out. Haven’t all those poor murderers suffered enough?

Was lifting safety seal off of margarine a couple days ago and this came to mind - - - the reason for it.

A lot of things changed that decade.

Less wholesome.

“So far, she has served more than 30 years.”

If you want to be released, come talk to us in 60 years.

“Sure, dear - just take this pill first...”

His last words were Stella! Stella!

Almost every time my beloved has to fight with opening new bottles he curses her and her ilk for the misery they individually caused the families of the dead and the way it affected society.

This crime caused a huge change in the packaging industry -almost everything has a seal now.

I seem to remember a lawyer who initiated a billion dollar lawsuit over the lack of safeguards at the time, that set him and his firm up very nicely.

I don’t remember her but I recall the coast to coast hysteria when someone tampered with Tylenol bottles. This also in the 1980s.

Ever since then, you have pill containers double wrapped and some so Child Proof not even an adult can open the jars without a struggle.

It was also around that time we lost our colored bathroom tissue and paper towels. Nothing but white now.

Before her kill’n spree, there was the Pixy Styx killer of Halloween 1974.

Texas executed him in ‘84.

He placed cyanide in Pixy Styx Halloween candy to kill his son for insurance money.

Nickell was convicted of tampering with consumer products in 1988 and sentenced to 90 years in federal prison. So far, she has served more than 30 years.

She has about 60 years to go then. F her! She earned 90 years.

She’s got another 18 years to go; her release date is July 10, 2040.

They could offer her a deal: Stella takes cyanide-laced Excedrin tables, just like her victims did, and they’ll let her out of jail 7 days later.

Could be where Nickell got the idea for product tampering to kill her spouse.

Screw her. Let her rot in jail, or offer her the option of taking one of her special capsules.

What a psycho and an idiot. He killed his own son for insurance money. He was so inept, there was no chance he wouldn’t be caught.

Even up in Maryland at the time, we heard about that case.

Horrible.

Yeah, that’s why my beloved groups all of those vile folks together......

I refuse, as does my beloved of labeling them crazy: Folks like them are just plain EVIL.

HER actions caused a complete re-do of packaging in the USA.

LOL! Every time I get a prescription refill or bottle of aspirin, I have to ask my husband to ‘de-adult-proof’ it for me.
