YPSILANTI, Mich. — More than 21 years after she went to prison, Barbara Hernandez enters the cinderblock visitation chamber at the Women's Huron Valley Correctional Facility in the turquoise blouse with applique flowers she keeps for special occasions. Her makeup is carefully applied but cannot hide the age lines that spread, thin but unmistakable, from the corners of her eyes.

And many of those ultimately commit suicide, or become drug addicts and die of drug overdoses.... None of which changes the point that this young woman chose to participate in the murder of another human being, while many go on to live the life you describe, many do not commit murder. A murderer should never be freed unless their victim somehow comes back to life.

Think He'll be as judgmental as you? Cite me the part where I was being "judgmental". A judge and jury has already done that. They judged that she was a murderer.
After that, read up on what God had to say about murderers.
