We can't afford to keep prisoners like this behind bars for 50 years unless we change the prison conditions. I say pack them in like rabbits with 1 meal a day and little else. Of course the bleeding hearts say they still have rights even though they didn't honor the rights of their victims. I wish the victim in this case would have snuffed out this perp. She would have gotten off since it would have been self defense.
