Teenager who killed her pimp in 1994 is set free after Arnie commuted sentence

Social Responsibility would have been applying capital punishment for her murder, not mitigating her crime or wasting taxpayer money on her. Irony be damned.
Or at least convicting her of a lesser crime with less of a sentence.

she did the crime. Period. If there's a law, it needs to be consistently enforced.

You think the death sentence should be applied to minors?

Really, flytrap. Don't become a psychologist.

It was on the harsh side, sure. Extenuating circumstances being what they were. But a lawful jury convicted her, and justified it. And it was lawful for all this time, over 15 years. where the outrage then?

What happens to her now? A prostitute who spent 15 years in prison learning the talk and tricks, becoming institutionalized?

How about getting therapy and reintroduced into society, hmm?

She's 16 + 16 = ~32 now. Increasingly, criminals under the age of 18 are being tried as adults.

Ironic, considering that a 26 year old can still be claimed on their parents taxes.

The girl was tried and convicted in a court of law. She was a juvenile but still sentenced to life without parole. She served 16 years before sensible minds (one of which belonged to a republican) realized that life without parole was overly harsh.

Did you read the article? "It is justice long overdue,' Yee told the Los Angeles Times. He called Kruzan's case the 'perfect example of adults who failed her, of society failing her. You had a predator who stalked her, raped her, forced her into prostitution, and there was no one around.'"

No adults to care about her and take her away from her predator. Probably from a poor household. Probably had a public defender. You really think the same "justice" would have been handed out to, say, Lindsay Lohan at that age?

The conservative response to this travesty is totally predictable. You're bashing the woman but you haven't said word one about the sexual predator who did this to a child. Go hang your head in shame.

He's dead. Been dead for a long time, the monster. She isn't. she's current, and a killer. A murderer before a woman. this is where that whole

'if women are going to be equal they need to be treated equal'

jazz comes in.


But I find the whole argument inappropriate. If it was a man who was pardoned libs and cons would still be saying the same things.

This isn't about women, for cryin' out loud. It's about juvenile injustice. It applies equally to male criminals.
 
If this pimp was sexually abusing her as a child and had her working in prostitution then I have no problem with her getting out of prison now. As has been stated she did the world a favor getting rid of that scumbag.

Than we agree on one thing.




She is a murderer. If we can charge 13 year olds as adults than a 16 is not out of the question. Hell, its not even unusual.

Are you really a psych major? By now you should have learned more about how and when the brain matures. We don't expect the same thinking from children and teens that we do of adults. Go study up on the frontal lobe.
 
'We' don't expect children to rob and shoot people either. She needs help, and prison and the same streets she left after 16 years isn't where she will get it, is it?

She should not be running free. if not for her crime and lawful sentencing than for her mental condition.

You think she's getting help in prison?

Your naivete is almost endearing.
 
Complete emotional Appeal.

She apologized for his killing, but she robbed him, killed him in cold blood. Also, people here laud her for it.

If the dude was raping her as a child and pimping her out, also while a child, I have no sympathy for the man. Sh killed him and has done her time. She is now free to live her life as best she can.

Anyone who rapes a child is the lowest form on earth.
