Honestly, I don't see why people are so upset at this woman. Her family, obviously, has reason to be miffed. But don't you think they'll all get together at some family reunion ten years from now and have a big laugh over it? The taxpayers are left on the hook, but taxpayers are left on the hook every day of the week by thousands of people who do stupid and selfish things.
I think what really upsets people about Jennifer Wilbanks is that she is alive. We were all ready for her to be the next Laci Peterson, and for altar-boy to be the next Scott Peterson. We heard those thrilling words... "Person of Interest"... and the Pavlovian response went off. The water cooler talk once again turned to the fascinating subjects of lie detectors and forensic pathology. We were hungry for drama, for the Next Big Thing, and for blood.
Scott Peterson is awaiting his date with the Death Chair and the Jackson case is winding down. Something has to come along and fill the gap. And then Jennifer Wilbanks came along. Sweet, innocent Jennifer, so bright and beautiful, so looking forward to her blessed nuptials, torn so violently from the loving grasp of her perfect, wholesome, family. Brutally murdered (we all knew, of course) by her knuckle-dragging, brutal, oppressive husband-to-be. It was too good to be true.
And then the "thieving slut", as you so charmingly call her, had the temerity to show up alive, and ruined everything.
Hey, but we got two dead little girls in Indiana this morning, so things are looking up!
Stopped here at this comment. No point discussing an issue with someone who utters such absurdities.
