If you haven't seen the press appearance she made (I saw it this morning on MSNBC) it is quite impressive.

She does not have a crush on him. She was not bragging. She was not a publicity hound.

Nobody is forgetting the horrific crimes Nichols committed, including Smith.

She recounted that he showed her Wilhelm's driver's license. She told him he had killed a 40 year old man who probably had kids and a wife (it turns out he has no children but is married, but the point was Smith made these points to Nichols). She told him he could turn his life to Christ and minister to people in jail (she told him he'd have to turn himself in and face the consequences of what he'd done) and could save more people than he killed. I'm not saying that's what he will end up doing. But that is what she said to him.

Nothing about getting away with anything. Nothing about excusing anything.

He asked her to visit him in jail and she said she would and I think she will keep her word. And it won't have anything to do with romance.

I agree. I just heard her interview on Hannity. She realized her life depended on connecting with this guy and getting him to see her as a human being and not a target. Plus, she is obviously a practicing Christian who tried to save his soul, which helped her bond with him. She is under no illusions that he must pay for his crimes and be punished according to the law.

She is an extremely impressive lady. Her faith gave her the road map and the strength to survive an encounter with a monster.

Today his ministry was mocking the authorities over his murders.
