Doesn't law enforcement have something better to do than to chase down drug cases from 32 years ago? It seems that her time out of jail and married is much better rehab then what she probably would have gotten in prison. - fluidfoundation, on 05/07/2008, -6/+117I'm gonna tell you a secret. I'd do her.
- chillmandan, on 05/07/2008, -8/+119I gotta say, although she broke the law she obviously seemed to be a law abiding citizen raising a family. The person who tipped off the police is kind of a dick.
- Abomonog, on 05/07/2008, -16/+106Sad. A family wasted for a bad law.
- fitqueenb, on 05/07/2008, -8/+78That is what I was thinking too.. I did not realize that the country had so much extra money to throw around to find someone from 32 yrs ago, that is now a productive citizen. Now the taxpayers get to pay for her. Sometimes you wonder.... what are the priorities????
- CSharpSauce, on 05/07/2008, -6/+73Isn't the point of jail to rehabilitate people going in the wrong direction in life? It seems like she changed, and is now a helpful person in society (a mother) jail would only be an unneccairy burden on taxpayers, and her family.
- ssawyer06, on 05/07/2008, -3/+60You can debate drug policy, but clearly the reason this is on the front page is milf factor.
- xtraa, on 05/07/2008, -7/+46I bet the anonymous whistle-blower feels pretty proud now. Life just became a little bit better.
- wexmajor, on 05/07/2008, -6/+41There is no justice here, only law enforcement.
Isn't the government supposed to care about families or something? Soccer moms are so inconsistent. - Abomonog, on 05/07/2008, -3/+33Her original time (10- 20 years) plus 5 years for escape plus 5 years each year she was on the lam.
Doesn't matter though. The escape plus living under a false name and getting married under that name. All of the false ID and now dozens of pending federal purgery charges once they trace her last 32 years will guarantee she never leaves jail ever again. - dave122, on 05/07/2008, -13/+42it's not about rehabilitation, it's about retribution.
- TheHayze, on 05/07/2008, -2/+28Tommy Lee Jones, is that you?
- AdmiralHalsey, on 05/07/2008, -5/+31Step 1: Apply some common sense
Step 2: Leave her the ***** alone - RealmDown, on 05/07/2008, -1/+26"There is no justice here, only law enforcement."
Excellent. - matschig, on 05/07/2008, -3/+26Aren't they always?
- brufleth, on 05/07/2008, -5/+26Which is the law and all but...is it really worth jailing her for life when she was apparently a productive member of society? I agree it isn't fair for her to just "get off" but it also seems silly to spend all the money on keeping her jailed the rest of her life if she was apparently a productive member of society.
Guess the law is the law though. - alpha19, on 05/07/2008, -1/+19I was thinking the exact opposite.
- Shao00, on 05/07/2008, -6/+24 I wonder who the phone call was from? Maby the husband thought this was a lot cheaper than a divorce.
- dave122, on 05/07/2008, -1/+19Perhaps they thought I was saying that was a good practice, i was just saying that our system does not care about rehabilitating people, it's all about punishment and retribution.
- DangerMouse9, on 05/07/2008, -8/+24Did she physically harm anyone? Did she steal from anyone? Or was she just busted for possession of drugs?
If your previous crimes are victim-less then after 32 years it should just be let go. - crimpshrine, on 05/07/2008, -1/+17Really sounds like most "drug busts" they exaggerate every detail, and then in the process ruin more lives by the policies in place.
What is really ironic is if she did serve her full sentence, odds would NOT be in her favor of being a law abiding home maker at the moment. - nodong, on 05/07/2008, -6/+21Guess the law is the law though?
***** that. Just because some asshat legislators pandering to their ***** sheeple electorate decide they don't want someone doing something doesn't mean they had divine insight into The Way Things Have To Be. - inactive, on 05/07/2008, -1/+15"An anonymous caller tipped Michigan officials to her location."
Why do you come to a news site if you don't read the news? - lmhiatt, on 05/07/2008, -0/+14happiest mugshot i've ever seen.
- RealmDown, on 05/07/2008, -1/+15Ok, but remember, you requested it.
- Abomonog, on 05/07/2008, -2/+15Not in America. Jail here is just a storage facility.
- vypergts, on 05/07/2008, -0/+13I don't think the governor of California can pardon fugitives from Michigan.
- ShempRider, on 05/07/2008, -0/+13A statute of limitations doesn't apply after conviction.
- chirio, on 05/07/2008, -2/+14anonymous or not. as fitqueenb said before: waste of money. she could continue working and paying taxes, but "Now the taxpayers get to pay for her".
- inactive, on 05/07/2008, -24/+36They received a tip, they investigated. That's what they're there for.
- Maynza, on 05/07/2008, -3/+15So you hate her for being a GOOD heroin dealer? Not because she was a heroin dealer?
- Abomonog, on 05/07/2008, -0/+11Yes but she escaped. Under get tough laws you lose any time earned when you escape.
- vtron, on 05/07/2008, -1/+12The law is "bent" every day by the people we pay and elect to uphold it. They just call it "interpretation".
- RAEP, on 05/07/2008, -3/+14She didn't murder anyone, she sold drugs. Drugs =/= murder. ***** manditory minimum sentencing.
- Lixie, on 05/07/2008, -5/+16What crime? I don't consider drug possession a crime.
- ShempRider, on 05/07/2008, -5/+15The Marshals don't chase drug cases, they chase fugitives. And they won't stop chasing until you're dead or captured.
- RealmDown, on 05/07/2008, -2/+12In school, we called them "tattletales"
The rewards were more appropriate too. Right after school. - coustoe, on 05/07/2008, -1/+11what was the original drug offense? 20 years is a long time for a MINOR drug offense. I think were missing part of the story here.
- Nougat, on 05/07/2008, -1/+11What people are failing to realize is that that picture is from 32 years ago. Pre-milf, as it were.
- timusca, on 05/07/2008, -0/+9Really? Because she looks like this today :
http://msnbcmedia.msn.com/j/msnbc/Components/Photo ... - NikoKun, on 05/07/2008, -1/+10The law and judges REALLY need to consider the fact that she was a productive member of society, she was living a crime free life... Why does she need to go back to prison, for a drug charge which she already served a year on... Why does she need to go back, likely for life now, when she wasn't doing anything wrong besides hiding? Out of prison she probably would have remained a decent member of society, and contributed just like the rest of us. This is pointless and a waste of our money!
The justice system is in it for revenge, not justice or rehabilitation. No wonder our justice system is laughed at by the rest of the world. - Maynza, on 05/07/2008, -6/+15Yes master.
- mercuryfalling, on 05/07/2008, -1/+1010 to 20 years for drugs?
WTF - raynar, on 05/07/2008, -2/+10No one can prove it was victimless. She was arrested under conspiracy, and was believed to have been a major drug dealer. How many lives did she ruin during this stint?
- DangerMouse9, on 05/07/2008, -6/+14wow... someone has some pot in the 60s and should go to jail for life. You sir are a winner!!!!!
- Bootes, on 05/07/2008, -3/+11If someone wants to be stupid why should we stop them. We can teach the dangers of things, but as long as they're only hurting themselves I see no reason why the government should force them to stop.
- sodade, on 05/07/2008, -3/+11Who the ***** dugg this down? Who could argue that we do a good job of rehabilitating prisoners?
- ahoyhoy, on 05/07/2008, -0/+8Gonna need a pardon from the Governor of Michigan, where the crime took place in the first place that she is being arrested for again.
- moofer, on 05/07/2008, -2/+10So we should be encouraging people to escape from prison and find meaningful lives while on the run? Did I miss something here?
