Atkins to be Released?
They might be releasing Susan Atkins, a.k.a. Sadie Mae Glutz from jail. As you hopefully know, she was the leading lady for Charles Manson that stabbed Sharon Tate 17 times, until she "stopped screaming", then tasted her blood and wrote the word "Pig" with it on the walls. Tate was pregnant at the time, and was having a party that night. The other guests were killed as well, including Jay Sebring.
Anyway, they might be releasing Atkins for "compassionate release" because she's dying of brain cancer. She's been costing the state of Cali 1.4 million bucks since March with all her guards and medical care. She's been in jail for about 37 years I think, the longest female incarcerated in the history of the state of California.
She seemed to show little remorse for her victims, refusing to even confess until she was being sentenced (probably to lessen her term.) She was sentenced to death along with Manson, but Cali temporarily suspended the death penalty during their years and they were given life sentences instead. Charles Manson is still alive, and has been poisoned, burned, beaten, strangled... but he's still alive in solitary confinement.
Sadie and the family attacked Tate's house because a record producer that refused to give Manson an album deal used to live there. Roman Polanski and his wife Tate moved in shortly after. Manson visited the house before it was attacked to speak with the producer, then sent his Family to kill the residents. Manson widely believed a race war between whites and blacks was coming based on the Book of Revelations and the White Album by the Beatles. He chose to kill some rich white men and make it look as if blacks had did it to create this "war."
Gov. Schwartzennegar and the victims' families are asking for her to be kept in jail for her supposedly last 3 months alive. Atkins husband (someone actually married her after the murders, yes), Susan's brother and the prosecuting attorney who tried the Manson case in the first place both support Atkin's compassionate release since she's in no condition to kill anyone anymore and is probably going to die soon.
Supposedly, while in jail, Atkins like many notorious criminal figures became an Evangelist Christian.
I've studied the case, and that's about as much history as I'm willing to put in one post. What do you guys think about this though? Should she be released, why or why not? She's a heinous murderer, but she's also a burden on the state. She's dying a shitty death, but she's also butchered a pregnant, innocent women and showed no remorse for her.
What do you think?

I think she's dead in three months and that's that.
Like your uncle was dead in four weeks or whatever and he's still drinking?
The fact remains if she gets released for her condition, then her condition improves... then you have a nefarious criminal loose, angry victim's families... but then on the flip side, if she keeps on living in prison, she'll cost a lot of money.
It's a shady gray moral issue that I was looking for opinions on.
Well, cleeeaaaaarly yo put it in the wrong place. Nobody comes in this forum except Giggan.
And it was 6 months to a year (the unc.). Not 3 months with brain cancer. That's different. She's dead.
And it wouldn't have to be a shady gray moral issue if they'd just fry the bitch. Both sides solved. Fucking terminator.
she was denied release yesterday. Although they've appealed to a judge to release her regardless of the parole board's decision apparently. that case hasn't been heard yet.
Unless...... The doctor was paid to say she has brian cancer! They let her out and POOF she lives free for like 15 more years!!!!
Oh, I thought this was about a new low carb diet book that was coming out... carry on.
Oh, right. Didn't that guy die of a heart attack? I thought he did, which put a whole damper on that "eat as much bacon as you want" thing...
no, that's sort of the urban myth that's sprouting up. He slipped and cracked his head open on the pavement.
And, yeah, my first thought was the dieting guy when i saw the headline too.
really who cares about this bitch anyways. what is she now? 70? the sentenced her to life and they've taken that, she's got nothing if she's out, no job no home no money. The taxpayers are going to end up paying for her medical bills the rest of her life as it is. Let her out and some vigilante dude that has just seen Batman will push her in front of a bus in a week or two and then they can use the newsbite on the Daily Show for a two-minute bit and try to get a laugh. They could use as many as they can get.

Oh, I know. I feel so awkward for John everytime I watch that show.
