"I saw my hands around their necks," he said, adding, though, that he realized he couldn't meet one wrong with another. "Let the system handle them."
But second-degree murder -- and, for Ms. Medina, the lesser charge of second-degree manslaughter -- isn't severe enough for Ms. Cintron and her family.
"Life -- let her sit there, just rot," Ms. Cintron said.

He told the news service that observers shouldn't make too much of the study -- whether it would have shown if Terri Schiavo or other disabled patients exhibited brain activity or could have recovered.
"We don't want to raise false hopes or make people think all minimally conscious patients are aware," he said.
Still he said that people who are more likely to recover, according to their research, are patients like Terri who suffered from a lack of oxygen to the brain.
This is the second time the researchers showed significant brain activity in a PVS patient.
