This man should not be released from prison (especially not before 15 years). Just because he has been a "good prisoner" doesn't mean he should be allowed back in to society.

40+ beers and a loaded shotgun! This guy is too stupid to be left un-supervised. Put him to work somewhere that he can't hurt himself or anyone else.

What if this was a family member or friend of yours? Would the table be turned?

You obviously don't know. This will never ease up and be bearable to anyone who knew or loved her. Her family will feel her loss everyday of their lives due to the intentional, selfish act of a coward.
A word from the other side | 9:32 p.m. Sept. 23, 2008
FYI "Are you kidding me", that comment [GOODBYE DEAR SWEET LORETTA] was written by US - Craig's immediate family. We accepted her as one of our own for thirteen years. We loved her too. We aren't allowed to express sympaythy, remorse or any other emotions we have, only Loretta's family is allowed that opportunity, we are not allowed to speak - there are two sides to everything and whether they like it or not, we loved her and miss her too and feel the void as both of them are gone. We have two voids we cannot fill. She was a wonderful person that we all accepted as family, we lost her too. Her family is NOT the only ones that were hurt, ours was too - we lost 2 members of our family, Loretta and Craig. So Ms. Are You Kidding Me, who are you to say "you obviously don't know her"? You obviously don't know the whole story.
