Well , I have to find something to do when I wake up at 4am, and it gets to 6.30 and I wonder if daybreak is ever going to come.
Remember her? In self defence she stabbed her boyfriend 30 times, shot him in the head, then for good measure cut his throat - this is what happens when you think you've met the love of your life and are going to live happily ever after, then he lets you know he is just having a fling and you feel used and trashy, she says, with all the wisdom of her 74 years. But I digress.
It was the second time a jury has been unable to decide whether she should be executed for his killing, so under Arizona law, she can no longer be sentenced to death.
The judge now has the task of deciding her punishment, and can sentence her either to spend the rest of her life in prison or to give her the possibility of parole after 25 years. The next hearing is set for April 13.
Personally, I don't think she will get parole. The victims family were loudly weeping in court - and who could blame them - at the thought that she might get out in 25 years. I think she will be in prison every day for the rest of her life.
And the weather doesn't get any warmer. We are still in the freezing season.
Oklahoma is in there between Amarillo in Texas and Little Rock in Arkansas. And to give you an idea of scale it is 595 miles between the two. Thinks.....looking at the map.....wonder how long it will take me to drive to Miami in Florida. And I just looked that up, oh the wonders of the internet. It will take (an average person) 22 hours, it is 1418 miles but at the speed I drive I'll arrive a fortnight next Thursday. Think I'll stay where I am, that's almost like driving from Seaford to John of Groats three times!!!
Well, I' ve rambled on and it is now daylight, so I'll go and catch up with the news.
