And how many pot smokers are still in jail?

She received a 60 year sentence for torture and killing of a 12-year-old girl; but at age 29, she's out today.


[The victim was a] 12-year-old Southern Indiana girl who in 1992 was
beaten, stabbed and tortured for hours, and finally set afire while still alive along a dirt road outside of Madison, Ind., by a gang of four teenage girls,



And now one of the monsters has been set free. No prosecutorial misconduct. No jury tampering. No reason at all other than the inmate is personable. The judge just . . . set her free.

Didn't even keep her under HOUSE arrest for the remainder of her term.

I hope it's not too late for the victim's family to go after this monster with a civil wrongful-death case. It won't bring their daughter back, but if the bitch has to give half her paycheck to them every week for the rest of her life, at least she will be reminded every week that she is absolute scum.

WAVE 3 brings us the victim's mother's reaction:


She's angry about what happened to Shanda, and also angry that Rippey is getting out early. "Just serve your sentence," she says. "Be respectful of my child and serve your sentence. She's never been able to do this. She's tried to get out from day one."



I hope today or tomorrow someone involves her in a street fight and gets her ass thrown back in jail.

Taking out the moral issue and just speaking practically, is there anyone YOU'D kill if you knew you would spend 60 years in jail? Is anyone worth forfeiting sixty years of your own life? No. How about if you knew the most you would spend in jail would be 30 years? Almost certainly not. How about 15? Maybe. Just maybe...

What's a life worth? 15 years, apparently.

How do we find out who appointed this douchebag judge, and how do we hold him accountable?

Will this other monster, who received a 60-year sentence for killing an 8-year-old boy, be let out in 2021 at age 57?
