Score one for the good guys... Who in their right mind would really give this murdering piece of dung the opportunity to get out and kill again?!?

Well she is not going no where and should realize that she did take a life. Justice here has been served.

Hopefully the federal courts will not overturn this ruling. I'm glad to see involvement on the part of the family members of the murdered trooper. With any luck perhaps they can keep her from ever getting paroled as well.

Good behavior credits (1), are DOC policy not NC law, (which does make me wonder how DOC can alter a court imposed sentence...but that's another topic) and (2) should not even apply to life sentences. A life sentence is simply that...LIFE!! This isn't rocket science folks. You get out of prison when you stop breathing. Especially in the case of the murder of a LEO! When a criminal murders a LEO who is armed and trained, what do you think these people would do to the rest of us???

She should have been given the sentence that was originally handed down. She makes me sick.

credits for good beahvior? are we dealing with toddlers in time out or adult criminals? GET FRICKIN REAL!! I bet if we had corporal punishment, our crime rates would drop! i think we should fry them all! our tax dollars are deserved somewhere else rather than taking care of murderers for the next 50 years. most will never bes functional citizens.

What happened to the times when killing a law enforcement officer automatically got you the death penalty? Female or male, you know what you are doing when you kill a law enforcement officer so you should know that you are going to get the chair... or I would prefer a firing squad
