32 years on the run…
Recently a woman was arrested and returned to Michigan where she had walked away from a long prison sentence when she was 18. She was serving time for a drug conviction. Now 30 years ago drug convictions recieved much harsher sentences than today…..
We have celebrities that serve no time for some of the crap they do. I guess the Michigan prosocuters want to really make an example of her…..Why? I don’t get it….she didn’t kill anyone, she didn’t do any kind of violent crime.
Now I’m not saying she should get off scott free after being a fugitive for 32 years. But should she be forced to complete her original sentence of many years? I would say give her a big fine and let her go back to her family.
We have numerous examples of people accused and possibly committing much worse crimes and never serve a day in prison.
OJ is just one glaring example.
All this woman did was sell a small amount of drugs 30 some years ago and now they want her back in prison. We will pay for her in prison and costs for the courts again.
How will her being in prison help society? I am not condoning her escaping 32 years ago…..I just asking what good it will do to return her to jail….
I can only imagine what is must have been like for 32 years to wonder when she might get caught…..One question I have is who turned her in and why now after 32 years.
I say if we can have politicians and celebrities use drugs and then say…”oh I need to go to rehab” and get off we can let this woman finish her life as a free woman after paying a fine.
Just my humble opinion….
