"Carla Faye was only 14 when this crime happened

CO, I think you have been speed reading again. :-)

Carla became a prostitute at 14 and was in prison for 14 years, but didn't commit these killing at 14. According to the article she was born in 1959 and commited the murders in 1983. That would make her 23-24 years old at the time of the killings.

I agree from what I have read she did have a rotten life as a kid, but so have lots of other kids.

If she truely found Christ then her after life will be so much better than being stuck in prison for the rest of her earthly life.

As I read this case again it is one of the most sickening I have ever heard about up there with the Manson Girls.

Karla Faye Tucker was born in Houston, Harris County, Texas on November 18, 1959.

Karla Faye Tucker became a prostitute at age 14.
Early Days, Dark Days

The girl, whom would later be identified as Deborah Thornton, had screamed only once and began to gurgle. The gurgling annoyed Karla Faye, so she gave it to her again and again in the chest, legs, stomach and shoulders. The more the body seemed to quiver, the more Karla Faye struck to stop its trembling. As the carcass turned to mush, blood splattered upward and across the room, onto the murderess.

"Yuck!" she mimicked, but delighted in the sensation. Danny threw a blanket over her head, daring her to hit the target blindfolded. "Like a pinata!" he rooted. And the killing became a game. Under the darkness of the cover, Karla Faye's senses became more acute; she could hear the whoosh of the axe as it fell, could hear the squish-squish of the blade penetrating soft, wet flesh. Ecstasy! Although she denied it later, she would tell friends that the excitement generated a triple orgasm, the likes of which she had never before experienced.

Karla Faye Tucker had busted loose.

When she had finished with Thornton, empowered by the deviancy, she finished off Dean with another twenty blows.

Before they left the scene of the crime, Danny left the pickaxe impaled in Deborah Thornton's heart..................

In a taped interview with Larry King, Karla Faye, shunning the details of the murder, nevertheless recalled that, "I not only didn't walk around with any guilt, I was proud of thinking I had finally measured up to the big boys." Apart from that initial pride, the only deep sense she may have experienced after the murder was lethargy. "I didn’t care about anybody...I didn't place any value on myself or anybody else."
