Quoted:
It's not ridiculous. If you read her history, there's no reason whatsoever to leave her in society. If we could execute for stealing she'd be a good candidate. View Quote I tend to agree. Normally not a fan of heavy sentencing for non-violent stuff, but this bitch has a case of the crazy that isn't going anywhere. |

She is just a misunderstood victim of her upbringing...poor girl.

She needs options...70 years or loss of Hand(s)...Something to think about. Now I'm thinking of that vid that was posted here recently of the guy that had his hand hacked off for stealing. Took it like a boss.

Quoted: Boy, she had a shitty lawyer. The jury was allowed to see footage of an unrelated crime of her stealing Christmas lights. She was a habitual thief with zero regard for others. I'm having a hard time dredging up any sympathy for her. She had plenty of times to learn her lesson. View Quote In sentencing all that crap comes in. |

Excessive for petty theft but the injuring a child has me curious and if true not carry about her sentence.

Quoted: It would seem that the jury took a good opportunity to rid themselves of a career criminal once and for all View Quote It's no different than the guy that was given "life for stealing a slice of pizza". Yea, he stole pizza..... by roughing up the sales guy, while he was on parole for murder, and had three previous convictions. He was told before hand "Get busted doing ANYTHING, and you go away for life." He chose to continue to be a criminal. She didn't get 70 years for stealing power tools. She got 70 years for a life time of proving she would never correct her behavior, and would continue to be a threat to everyone who came into contact with her.

Quoted:
If every sentance for similar offenses was as punitive, perhaps burglars and thieves might be dissuaded from their chosen craft. View Quote Either that or the crimes will escalate from "kinda petty theft" to "murder the family in their sleep before stealing all the stuff from the house and burning down the structure." Because, fuck it, if I'm going to prison for life anyway, might as well not leave any witnesses or complainants. |

Meanwhile in another part of Texas... kill/mame a few people while drunk and rich...you're off to the country club resort for a while.

It was not cruel to be sentenced to prison. It isn't unusual for criminals to go to prison. Interpretation FAIL. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

Amendment 8 ? It isn't unusual for criminals to go to prison. Interpretation FAIL. Well said. Also, by its terms, the 8thAm doesn't prohibit cruel punishments which are commonplace or strange punishments which are not cruel. |

Amendment 8 ? It isn't unusual for criminals to go to prison. Interpretation FAIL. Not to mention she'll live better in prison than she ever will in the real world. Three meals a day, a bed, healthcare... |

Don't care. She's a lifetime criminal that will never change. I hate thieves. Apparently some of yall have never been stolen from. Not everyone is in a position to replace everything they have, and some things are just not replaceable. You work hard everyday at a job that you're not that fond of in order to be able to afford certain things and then some POS like her comes and takes it all away in one fell swoop. Then the police barely do anything because it's not a high enough priority. Fuck her, let her rot.

While I believe in punishment for crime, I have a hard time accepting it's my fucking responsibility that part of my taxes go to inmate corrections.
It costs $20,000 a year to house an inmate. $3.3 million a year total in taxes for all prison costs. |

Get caught stealing and you should lose a hand. Get caught again and off with the other one. Also no government assistance should be available. Let's see you wipe that ass with no fucking hands.

meh ...
she told society "fuck you" and the jury replied "no ... fuck YOU!" |

View Quote I used to live in a place just like that, spent 8 years in the Middle East. It sucked on a number of levels. Not the least of which being the kind of society that would tolerate such Draconian punishments has to also tolerate a totalitarian regime to keep things functioning. You simply can't have punishments like that in a civilized and orderly society. The reasonable people will rebel and revolt. |

I'm all out of fucks to give. I certainly dont want her living on my block. This woman is a career criminal and obviously feels no remorse for her misdeeds, so I see no reason that she wouldn't do it all over again as soon as she got paroled.
There is a lesson here: Keep your dick beaters off other peoples shit. |

Hope there was some police brutality involved in her arrest as well.

Quoted: What ever happened to the "three strikes you're out law"? This would seem to apply. While I understand not using prior convictions during a trial, it should be allowed for sentencing as in this case. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: As far as her other misdeeds, Brock got started down a bad path at the age of 17 when she was convicted in Arizona of solicitation to commit murder, KXAS reported. Later she was convicted of credit card abuse, injury to a child, theft, assault, and drug possession. What ever happened to the "three strikes you're out law"? This would seem to apply. While I understand not using prior convictions during a trial, it should be allowed for sentencing as in this case. you do realize that this was a "3 and out" case, right? it said so right there in the article.

Quoted: In contrast, you can drive drunk at three times the legal limit, kill four, put a fifth in a vegitative state and get nothing but probation! View Quote If you have money you will escape justice.

Well thats what she gets for having an attorney that thinks you breath throigh your stomach.

Great.
Taxpayers get to feed her for life. What's an inmate cost? $40k a year?

Sympathy from me will only be found somewhere in the dictionary, between Shit and Syphilis.

Quoted:
I read the article about her past criminal history, so I'm sorry if the intent of this thread was to solicit sympathy for her, because I have none. It was the past charges of "solicitation to commit murder" and "injury to a child" that pegged my give a fuck meter for her at exactly zero. View Quote Yup. A career criminal who has demonstrated an intent not to ever straighten herself out. So... "bye". |

View Quote How much does it cost to report, investigate, arrest, prosecute this woman for her crimes, year after year? Not to mention the direct cost to her victims. $20k/ year is a bargain. |

The 70 year sentence wasn't for stealing a few power tools.
It was for a lifetime of theft and violence. Soliciting murder, child abuse, assault, theft, credit card fraud...this person has issues. |
