Movie News

The movie was a great piece of work and I'm glad it was made....its unfortunate that it was actually inspired by true life events.  Insanity was probably her only defense and was probably the truth of it. Remember that this happened in a very different time.... ask anyone of age! It was in fact a different world and I for one certainly wish that the world today still had the moral qualities and family centered society that flourished back then......There is no doubt in my mind that she lived out the rest of her life dealing with the terrible thing she did, and could not take back or correct. It is a terrible thing when a catastrophic event happens to you early in life, be it caused by yourself or not. It haunts you forever and never does go away. They say time heals, but what time does is wears the sharp edges down to allow most of us to somehow deal with the past. She paid her debt to society as the court saw fit.... I'd imagine she did her time...I'm sure she did.....

I don't see how people could see her as anything other than insane. She lured a man who she had never met before, into a hotel room for the sole purpose of shooting him. It wasn't some case of a jealous lover striking out in revenge or any other thing like that, but a sick woman who had it in her mind that she had to shoot this man. Why she did what she did obviously doesn't make sense to us, but in her sick mind it did for her. I personally couldn't see locking her up in a real prison for the rst of her life for doing something she didn't even know was wrong. I'll admit, 2.5 years does seem a little light of a sentence but that's the whole point, she wasn't supposed to be sentenced, she was ordered to get mental help. And if it only took 2.5 years to get healthy again, so be it. It obviously worked because we never heard another peep from her for the next 61 1/2 years...
