Where is the compassion for the victims? They didn't get any.
I say let her rot behind bars. Didn't Sharon Tate plead for the life of her baby? http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,366306,00.html "DEATH ON CALL" |

Release her, let her die on someone elses dime.

No, let her die in custody. Why should she be released to enjoy freedom in her last days ??
NO, No mercy, she didn't show any, why should we ? |

I agree. It’s doubtful that she is any further threat to society - especially if she only has 6 months to live; she's probably too sick to make any waves. Let her go die while her family foots the bill, not the taxpayers. From this report, it doesn't sound as if she will be "enjoying" her last days regardless of her confinement. Compassion is the line that seperates U.S. society from so many others. Or, at least, it should be. |

Sure, her family can wheel her chair over to the local pub for her last brew, or maybe see the latest movie, a ballgame, whatever- right ? Screw that ! she dies in her hospital bed surrounded by guards, then into the incinerator with her corpse. |

Okay... you're entitled to your opinion. In the end it's still going to be up to the state of California and their taxpaying citizens; so our comments won't mean squat (assuming you no longer reside there). Completely off topic: I noticed you recieved the Humanitarian Service Medal - ... Interesting. |

So, release her but change the nomenclature from "compassionate" release to a "deserved ousting of the B to her fate on the street". She deserves no compassion from me, at least. She forfeit her human claim for compassion and has lived far longer on "our" dime than she should have.

I think there is a little bit of difference in his wanting her to die still in custody and somehow linking his metal into it. After all, she did kill four and was convicted of it. I say no enjoyment of freedom in her last days....  |

wasn't she sentenced to life? if so, wouldn't a life sentence be completed after death? so why cut her sentence short, even if it is only a few months.

I do not know whether "sharon tate was a member of anton leveys church of satan", but lets stipulate that. Are you saying that religious freedom do not apply to that church, and that it is not a crime to kill its members ? regards JakobA "Good is better than bad cause its nicer" Mammy Yokum (as related by Al Capp) |

I am scratching my head on that one too...... It seems to me that, that is exactly the mindset we are up against with the terrorists and their supporters. |

Like all other family members, the original sentence was death, at that time in California in the Gas Chamber. The liberal State Supreme Court ruled that death was cruel and inhumane punishment and so all of the family members (and all other convicted murderers in California at the time on death row) were commuted to life sentences. I somehow doubt that death behind bars is much different than life behind bars and I suspect that actually there will be more compassion shown at California taxpayer expense for Ms. Atkins than anywhere else. Note that since March she has been hospitalized locally in the community not in prison anyway. The difference simply is who pays the medical bills. A three-month hospitalization is not an inexpensive stay no matter who the payee is - and probably the best the family financially could do would be hospice care with the coroner then collecting the remains. It is sad that decisions made 40 years ago are still being dealt with and debated now. If the State Supreme Court had not "stayed the execution, 36 years ago, Ms. Atkins' cancer would never have had the chance to develop and spread. Maybe life in prison is truly the crueler and more inhumane sentence for youthful murderers. The only difference between dying "inside" or "outside" is who foots the bill. Death is final regardless and her cancer is now doing what the State of California would not in April 1971 when she was convicted and sentenced. May God truly have mercy on her soul now and may her faith continue to be a testimony to others she has ministered to since 1977 from within her prison walls.  So make the best of this test, and don't ask why. It's not a question, but a lesson learned in time. It's something unpredictable, but in the end is right. I hope you had the time of your life. - Green Day |
