Why?

Our great justice system at work. Good to know I can murder and not have to serve a real sentence.

She strangled him and lifted his body into a car and then pulled it out of the car and dumped him 2 miles away? Doesn’t seem like she was capable or at least didn’t act alone.

Great! Now we have a deadly virus and criminals out to get us ?

If she were a man who killed his wife, would they be setting her free?

Who's gonna star in this movie?

Carole baskin has hope. She’ll get out in 20 years.
