when you were 16 years old? How many things did you do then and since, you wish you could take back? Can you remember one single event marking that year of your life? How many of you even remember being 16?
Susan Kruzan remembers…..
What is the definition of first degree murder? Are extinuating circumstances considered or are they dismissed as sorry excuses for bad behavior? When asked if she felt she should be punished she said, “Yes, but for how long? I don’t know….You just can’t take someone’s life and think it’s ok.”
People have often asked why I DO NOT SUPPORT the death penalty, and this is why! My Father teaches forgiveness and grace. This girl has grown up in PRISON. Her first warden: MOM, second warden: PIMP, third and final warden: STATE OF CALIFORNIA. This is another example in how the system is set up to CREATE and PUNISH failures. Where do we go from here? How do we call ourselves a CIVILIZED society when we abandon our children and then send them to prison. For what? Breaking the law in places or situations they had NO BUSINESS in the first place!
The time has come for us to wake the hell up and smell the eggs burnin. Roman Polanski sits in a Swiss prison while he tries to scrounge up $4.5 million in bail and the FRENCH PRESIDENT fights for his release! When a victim tells the court she had NO CHOICE but to kill her abuser, how in the hell can we not believe her when the ABUSER seems to always supercede the VICTIM?
