ALFRED, Maine (AP) â A woman who stabbed a random shopper to death in the ice cream aisle of a supermarket was sentenced Monday to life in prison.
Connor MacCalister had told police she was angry with life and had gone to the store to kill "several random people." According to court records, she acknowledged being "off (her) meds" when she killed 59-year-old Wendy Boudreau in August at a Shaw's supermarket in Saco, where they both lived.
MacCalister, 31, entered her guilty plea in October over the objection of her lawyer, who wanted to use an insanity defense. MacCalister was sentenced in York County Superior Court in Alfred, where several members of Boudreau's family and friends spoke prior to sentencing about the horror of grappling with the sudden death of their loved one.
"Those poignant moments, when I realize she is really gone, are paralyzing," said Jessie Boudreau, Wendy's daughter, who added that MacCalister's "actions cracked the very foundation of our family and the Saco community."

“...over the objection of her lawyer, who wanted to use an insanity defense.”
No worries. The Obama Administration will dump her back on the streets in no time.

Also from the article:
“MacCalister is a transgender man who was born Tanisha Hopkins. She asked to be referred to as a woman in her recent court appearances. An exam report stated that she wants to be placed in a female jail and that she has stopped taking testosterone.”

I think he turned his life around.
He no longer hated cans.

MacCalister is a transgender man who was born Tanisha Hopkins...? She looked at me funny? Hells Bells...! You’re way beyond funny looking!

Journalists, you're not helping when you buy into his delusion.

Nope. A friend of Bruce Jenner’s.

I googled for the image and that IS him/her I thought you were kidding.
She/he did well in pleading guilty, and in saying she/he wanted to go back to the gender-at-birth. (How awkward it has become, lately, to state the obvious.) This person may be more sane now than at any time since his/her "transition".
