Re: 24 years for not stopping a murder?
@Lupin: The Swedish government has been battling for quite a long time to bring her home, this is just another step in that fight. And it is 25 to life, wich means she might spend another 40 years in California. (As I understand it)
@Yahwe: Ofcourse we don't (I haven't read the verdict) but it seems fairly simple. She was convicted of assisting in both murders by not stopping them. She got her sentence. Many other convicts are sent home to do their time here instead. She has been noted for good behaviour. She studies and train blinddogs. There shouldn't be any extra reasons for letting her spend the rest of her life in that Californian Jail.
@ She was convicted for helping her boyfriend by not stopping him.

Godwin's Law prov. [Usenet] "As a Usenet discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches one." There is a tradition in many groups that, once this occurs, that thread is over, and whoever mentioned the Nazis has automatically lost whatever argument was in progress. 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.
