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?
Sure, dear - just take this pill first...
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.
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.
She has about 60 years to go then. F her! She earned 90 years.
Screw her. Let her rot in jail, or offer her the option of taking one of her special capsules.
HER actions caused a complete re-do of packaging in the USA.
“I qualify for compassionate release.” Wow. Um, no you don’t qualify for compassionate release. Period.
I don't care.
She should have been executed.
Let her die behind bars.
I worked and lived in the Middle East in the country of Oman. Crime was almost nonexistent with the exception of crimes of passion as in our nation. Justice for crime was swift harsh and fair. People just did not rob and steal and commit violence against others with the exception mentioned, crimes of passion. My wife could go down to the “Souk” also called the bazar alone and in perfect safety.
Also in the bazar were the gold shops. It was not uncommon to walk in the shop and no one was behind the counter. Thousands of dollars of jewelry where open and within your grasp. Actually, many many thousands of dollars of jewelry. The owner was probably next-door drinking tea with his friend. He saw you walk in. That is how it worked. Walk about and admire all the lovely gold jewelry but do not touch it. When the owner walks in acknowledge his presence and touch or pick up what you want. This was 44 years ago. I hope it is still the same. Theft and crime were dealt with harshly and quickly. It worked.
Our criminal justice system does not work!
Gas the bitch and throw her ass in a hole.
Nothing emboldens sin more than mercy.
“She wrote, “I believe I qualify for compassionate release.”
Most likely, never thinking of the consequences, she uncompassionately denied an innocent person of their right to live a longer life. So, now because she has health problems caused by her aging and she has another 50 years to serve of her 90year prison sentence, she thinks she qualifies (deserves?) compassionate treatment. Well, some might say that execution would be a compassionate release from her lifelong punishment rather than forcing her to serve her remaining sentence. Make it her choice, serve the rest of the 90year sentence or be compassionately released from her life sentence unto the great beyond.
Have some fairness:
Release her and place her in a big tamper-proof freaking pill bottle so she can rot like we have to trying to open the dang things she brought upon the world.
