Let her go or no?

Ok, this is the deal. 20 some-odd years ago (1978) my aunt, who was 13 at the time, was brutally murdered by 2 teenagers because she "got on their nerves." They stabbed her 22 times, slit her throat, and then ran over her with a car as they left. The two teens were caught and sentenced to life in prison without possibility of parole. Now, our state governor (Governor Ehrlich of Baltimore, MD) has decided to reduce the sentence of one of the "damned" to 45 yrs. My grandmother received a call about it last week and since then we've contacted every news station AND America's Most Wanted's John Walsch, to try and stop this event from happening. Another part of this "protest" goes towards Ehrlich's secretion regaurding the subject. There's a lot more to say about the matter that I won't beable to fit here so go to
"http://www.sunspot.net/news/local/crime/bal-md.murder14nov14,0,4745265.story?coll=bal-local-headlines" (<-- must add rest, auto link won't.)
Please feel free to give me your input on the subject. Tell me if you think the girl should be freed after 25 years. Would you want her to be if it was your family? Do you think she has had enough time to rehabilitate or is she socially screwed for life? Please give me your input and your responses may apear on the news, taking this matter to a whole new level. :alliance:

Holy crap! I just read your post BigB (I'm calling you Big B bcuz I'm the only BB around here!:P). 1st, I wanna say that I'm sorry to hear about this. People say that we're a civilized society, but I guess that's not entirely true.

Anyway, like most folks said, don't get yourself a jail sentence over this. You don't want to let your anger get the best of you. Definitely let it out, but channel it towards something positive.

BB, you took my comment the wrong way... don't take it too literally dude... Hammurabi was a great leader... but, since they were in jail for over 1 year, they are considered felons... thus they cannot get a job easily... Who would want to hire a criminal???
I'm sorry to hear that.. but you can't become a criminal in the process of revenge... The act of revenge is looked upon worse than the crime itself...

No, a parole board technically has absolutely no say whether or not she is released. He sentence was shortened, so no matter what I do or anyone does, the girl is out in 3 years. She can be released tomorrow if a parole board says she's good enough, but even if she violates parole her sentence would only last another 3 years. The only way to stop her from being free is to either frame her or kill her. Lobbying and all that bullcrap will only put pressure on our Governor and maybe get him out of office, which is our secondary concern. But the girl is free no matter what. So I say f*ck her. :alliance:

Well, BBJ, I have to say I disagree with you on the idea that lobbying and legal action is a fruitless endeavor. If your willing to throw away your life by taking the actions of which you speak, then why not at least try everything in your power to prevent her from even being released? I speak of intense lobbying efforts and legal action. Sure you might go in debt incurring the costs associated with these measures, but will it really matter if after all is said and done you are in jail?
Plus, just because the govenor commutes the sentence doesn't mean that she will be released. A parole board has to approve her for release. Intense pressure can be put upon a parole board by public opinion and political figures to help make sure she stays behind bars. I recommend seeing an attorney and a PR specialist. It may seem strange hiring a PR specialist, but no one knows how to get the public's attention like a PR person. I know of other situations where this was done very effectively.
Might as well give it a shot.

There is no point in getting more support. The order has been signed and no matter what the girl is released in 3 years. That's plenty of time for planning to make her life either a "living hell" or no more. This girl's life is already ruined. She'll never be able to get a job, never get married or anything. Why not put her out of her misery as well? Although it may be doing her a favor, it's "mutually assured destruction." Me and mines are completely fine with that. :alliance:

That is TOTALLY the wrong way to do it. Varg Vikernes once said "The only negative part of murder is that the victim can no longer suffer".

This is why you make their life a living hell. Piss on their doors, kill animals and throw the corpses into their home. Blow up their car. Just make sure life sucks for them.

BigBabyJesus... only one problem. The punishment wouldn't be equal to the crime in your scenerio. In addition to the stabbing 22 times, running over with a car, etc., the person has also spent 25 years in prison for the crime.
Tough situation...especially if you are like me and don't believe in God. It would be great to think that there is a God who could mete out justice in an afterlife to make everything "even" in the end. However, I am not afforded that peace of mind as I simply don't believe it to be true.
My suggestion is to continue lobbying and even try legal action to bar her release. Continue to contact government officials (particularily Republicans as they tend to be the staunchest supporters of harsher penalties for inmates)and try to raise support. Don't waste your time here...use it to get support from those that can really help you in your cause.

Some of you guys are seriously twisted...like Vasper. However, I too agree with Hamurabi's Code of Law. So here is the plan. The day she is released, soemone is going to be there to pick her up. But it won't be who she thinks it will be. She will be casually lured to Weber's Farm (the place of the original murder), stabbed 22 times, have her throat slit, and then ran over with a car 4 or 5 times. Then dumb her body in the middle of the parking lot copy catting the exact same murder she previously commited. An eye for and eye right? That's the only true, uncorrupt justice there is. Even if it means sinking to her level. I'd be more than proud to. That's my reason for being on this planet. Justice shall be served one way or another. :alliance:

dude... it's ok to let it go.. but what they did is not acceptable... they should be sentenced the same sentence... like Hammurabi's code of law... If a man builds a house for another, if that house falls (purposefully, should be added) down and kills the son of the owner, the builders son shall be put to death...

Some how I knew Ehrlich was a wolf in sheep's clothing...
Not to mention... Draco... Started harsh punishments in Greece... wow.. Greece did contribute a lot to western democracy...

One's ability to forgive is unique to every person. I doubt I would even be able to forgive such a thing, but since I have an input to this problem that is passionless, it's a valuable perspective.
Buhdda said, "Passionlessness is the greatest value" which is true in some cases.
All I suggested was the consideration of forgiveness. I didn't say that the assholes who killed someone should be freed.

Damn man, that sucks. What I think:

I hate to say this because I'll sound insensitive, but I think you should make an effort to forgive.
I'm not saying they shouldn't stay in jail though, that's for sure. They belong behind bars.
But for your own sake. Rise above the problem. Transend it.
