And after they find out what drove her to this sad and horrific crime then take her brain out and examine that! I strongly believe that if we had the death penalty, like giviing a shot to the criminal like they do to dogs that are sick, then possibly many of these types of crimes can be avoided. The law is too lenient, especially in the case of murder. My condolences to both families. more ›
