[Cerek the Barbaric]

I remember discussing this case on IW extensively when it first occurred. antryg touched on the one aspect of the case I consider the most important...the fact that the homeless man didn't die right away. He didn't even die the next day. IIRC, one report said that it took almost THREE DAYS before the man finally died. During that time, he was laying on the hood of her car, impaled upon the windshield and in terrible pain. The "nurse" supposedly went out to comfort and apologize to him on more than one occasion, but she still NEVER called 911.

I admit it has been several months and my memory may be wrong about these details (or the report I saw could have been incorrect). But the fact that he did lay in her carport suffering - yet still very much alive - far longer than any drug would have stayed in her system makes her actions totally and completely unforgivable. Sixty years is too short. She should have been given Life +10, or whatever it takes to make sure she never gets out.

This is one case where I actually favor Life in Prison over the Death Sentence. I think it is a far better punishment to allow her to live the rest of her natural life locked away forever so that she can think about what she did every single day.
