Don't assume - it makes you look like a fool.
She got 25 years to life.

She is still in prison and was recently denied parole. The gun was an xmas present from her dad.

"Acadian Driftwood" by The Band

Tells the story of the "Great Upheaval", the history of the Louisiana Cajun people, and their expulsion from Canada.

Not real sure about the visuals in this video... but good song, good story.

You are right, I am constantly reminded everyday never ever to assume anything. But in this case the girl had a couple things going for her. Her father was a pig, she was underage thereby not responsible, she could easily and understandably claim insanity. After reading your link I just learned she has never and still dont show remorse. She is up for parole again next month. I will check on things because I am a bit fasinated by the whole story.

I got my first 20 gauge when I was 10, my first rifle when I was 12. I recall I also had a pistol and a 12 gauge by the time I was 16, when I got my drivers license. I am pretty normal in this sense, not really a hillbilly. I imagine that's probably par for the course in Texas, where you live, as well.

I agree that the gun thing is not too strange. Also, in this case, it is especially apparent that the murders were not the gun's fault because the 16-year-old who had it was a complete lunatic. Now, maybe the parent should have noticed a red flag or two before deciding on a gun for a gift but who knows...

desertsun41 - Yeah, I noticed the parole thing too. I also have a fascination with strange murderers. I have a feeling that she won't be paroled next month.
