[Cincinatus' Wife]

Talk about ill-advised.

[Wolfie]

Zamora is serving a life sentence, and will not become eligible for parole until 2036.

Oxymoron alert.

[MEG33]

UGH!

[r9etb]

Talk about ill-advised.

Well, at least she has 30 years to think about selecting bathroom tile....

[freeper2003]

A match made in heaven... (hell?)

[Constitution Day]

Prison mail is how Zamora, 25, met her fiance, inmate Steven Mora, 27. The two have never met in person, family members said.

When she marries, will she be Diane Zamora-Mora?

[Wolfie]

Hmmm...a wife who'll be locked away for the next 30 years. Definitely food for thought.

[Cincinatus' Wife]

When she marries, will she be Diane Zamora-Mora?

This is nuts. I think these criminals have too much free time. Think about the young girl she helped murder and the family left without a daughter. I don't think she should be allowed to enter into this farce.

[robowombat]

Why did Ms. Zamora not get the death penalty? Because she is young, female and good looking perhaps?

[jlogajan]

When she marries, will she be Diane Zamora-Mora?

They plan to honeymoon on Bora Bora.

[Constitution Day]

TX seems to have the reputation of being tough on criminals... I am frankly surprised they allow this.

I do agree with you.

[BlueNgold]

NOT NOT NOT NOT NOT a danged CADET

One more time for those that couldn't get in anyway:
Annapolis = Midshipmen
West Point/Air Farce = Cadet

At least they got the 'Ex-' part correct. We don't want even to claim her for goodness sake, but darnit get our titles right.

Hey gray out! why don't you do that in Calf? You could let all the prisoners marry. This way they couldn't complain about being 'crowded' into the same cell and they wouldn't do so tempted to sniff around each other's tails.

[judgeandjury]

Why did Ms. Zamora not get the death penalty? Because she is young, female and good looking perhaps?

Many men who are convicted of the same crime also don't receive the death penalty, and it's certainly not because they're young, female and good looking.

I agree about the claim. I wonder why the headline didn't read "CONVICTED MURDERESS to Wed"?

[randog]

In a letter dated April 29, Zamora alternately threatened and cajoled, first writing, "the only cause for a denial would be prejudice," then assuring Rickhoff, "I do not take marriage lightly."

A girl's gotta set limits and stick to her morals. Murder? No problem, but jumping into marriage is strictly out of the question.

And he's got thirty years to train himself to put the seat back down...

[Van Jenerette]

When she marries, will she be Diane Zamora-Mora?

They plan to honeymoon on Bora Bora.

...and name their first child...Tora Tora Zamora-Mora?

[jjm2111]

Are you a current middie?

[jjm2111]

"Zamora and Graham devised a plot to kidnap and kill Jones, witnesses at their trials said. Her death in 1995 went unsolved for nine months before Zamora and Graham were charged with capital murder. "

Where do they grow people like this???
