Well boo-freaking-hoo. She wants a "Compassionate Release". I say let her sit in jail. Where was her compassion on Sharon Tate? http://www.cnn.com/2008/CRIME/06/13/manson.atkins/index.html
I know right! Since when do we even let prisoners out to die???Okay, she got sentenced to life in prison. This is her life, she is dying, so she should do it in prison. If she didn't want to die in prison, she should have thought of that before slitting a pregnant woman's throat.

I AGREE 100% You did the crime, now do the time.This sort of thing bugs the CRAP out of me. This "compassion" for prisoners. Why??? They're criminals!!! "Yeah, well they're human beings." So?? IMO, when you commit a crime, you give up your rights. That was your choice. Period. The end. Quit whining about it.
Oh, Sadie, Sadie, Sadie... you poor, poor little killer you! I certainly don't think that she should be allowed out, although when you think about it, these days, when you are sentenced to life in prison (with the possibility of parole)aren't you usually out in under 30 years? She has definitely been in longer than that but she should die there. She had no mercy and therefore should be shown no mercy. (It felt strange to write her name, I named one of my dogs after her - the Manson killings were my first true crime interest way back in Jr high school).

Her final judge, as is all of ours, is God. With that having been said, I too agree that we should have a bit of compassion on her in dying. She was a crazy drugged up young girl.
SCM I totally see where you are coming from and you make some good points like how it would save us money to send her home to die. However thats about the only reason why she should be allowed. I just think of the crime and how poor pregnant sharon did not have her mom or dad, sister or husband be with her as she lay dying. I do think Justice will be served in another life as well. I still like to see it done here and I would NOT let any prisoner go home to die, its just not fair.
I have running in my mind constantly when I hear things like how susan wants out is how the victim felt. I rarely ever have compassion on a criminal, I know some people do and thats great I just never do. I am usually a very sensitive person too. I know that is not how God would want us to be but I cant help it.I think about Sharon Tate too, michelle. I mean what she went through - unimagineable. But, imho, I can have compassion for Sharon and Susan. I don't have to take sides. The very nature of compassion (a form of love) is that its expression is not diluted or lessened if it is shown towards everyone.

I know we should treat others how we want to be treated but I have not sypmathy for them. Have a good night!:blowkiss: OH The Happening looks great!Gosh, honey - I don't know that I'd say that! I was not trying to sound sanctimonious and apologize if I came across that way. I was just thinking out loud. I will not lose sleep at night if Susan does not die in the bosum of her family.
I am off to date night - The Hulk or the Happening, I think, with DH! Have a great one and I'll catch you tomorrow!:blowkiss:
Gee tell it like it is why dont you, lol. Just kidding, I am sure her family can be at the hospital with her.I personally think that the bunch of them deserve to rot in hell for what they did and wish that the DP had been carried out.
But she most likely will not die in prison even if her request is denied. She has been in a hospital near the prison since last march. She will probably die there.
So by granting her request the only things that would really change is who is footing the bill. And possibly the amount of time she is allowed to spend with visitors. (I don't know how they handle visits to a prisoner in the hospital)
