Re: 24 years for not stopping a murder?
She didn't have a gun pointing at her head or anything, but I guess the entire situation might count as duress, I mean the boyfriend DID kill someone, and then you are expected to step betwean a police officer and the gunman?
Do you consider the sentence excessive? Aparently she agreed to plead guilty to avoid the death penalty.
Do you think she would have been treated THAT severe if her boyfriend hadn't comitted suicide?

Godwin's Law prov. [Usenet] "As a Usenet discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches one."

Godwin's Law thus practically guarantees the existence of an upper bound on thread length in those groups. However there is also a widely- recognized codicil that any intentional triggering of Godwin's Law in order to invoke its thread-ending effects will be unsuccessful.
