Alison of Harrisonburg: She judged two women and took their lives. She will be dealt with harshly. She deserves no sympathy from us! Pity for a selfish person such as she is ludicrous! If she had killed your children in this manner, you'd probably change your tune!

The more I hear about this woman, the more I see her as being a selfish, self-indulgent opportunist that doesn't care about other people. What she did was pure EVIL!

She would probably get the death pentalty anyway so why not put her jail now without her constant care? She's gonna die anyway. I think if ANYBODY kills somebody, unless self defence, they should die too. Sorry, just my personal opinion.

As far as all you people who may or may not personally know this women, you have no right to judge her. In the bible it says only GOD can judge us and the last time i checked not a single one of us is anywhere close to being GOD! And it is also in the 10 commandments tho shall not kill so just because she killed someone that doesnot give us the right to take her off life support god is the final say in that look at her health status is it remarkable she is even still alive there must be a reason. So let god do his job and you do yours which is not to decide who dies but pray for goodness to come out of the situation.

To dh of Staunton: Yes, the Staunton PD solves a lot of cases, in case you didn't know. Where have YOU been? You should have dealings with the Chicago Police, then you'd change your tune! Staunton PD is the best I've ever encountered.

i agree with everyone else she DID NOT care what she took from those girls and their famlies. they didn't get a chance to live their life out as that woman has been around these 41 yrs. sick or not she should be in jail. the girls famlies are in my prayers.

I don't see how someone can live a normal life with something like this on them.She didn't feel sorry for them girl's that night so why should the law feel sorry for her now. Lock her up and forget about her the same way she did them girl that night 41 years ago!!!!

Yes, the woman did live with this for 41 years; but she will have to explain that to her maker when she meets him. My thoughts and prayers are with the girls families.
