![]() ![]() It's hard as a human being to even want to understand what drives someone (especially so young) to kill, and worse TORTURE another soul. I know we can examine their backgrounds (as is done in "Cruel Sacrafice" by Aphrodite Jones) but there are many people in the world, countless numbers of victims who do not turn to murdering. I was still a teenager when I read this and I honestly felt then, and now, no sympathy for the killers. It's not that adults murdering is natural, but society tends to see children as pure. This was a sick sick true crime, there is just something so unnatural about children who kill. It took me awhile to find this book, I thought it was the one written by Jones but I read this one years ago. The vivid details really were heart wrenching.as I read I could see all these events happening to this little girl.my heart hurt. She and Laurie should have remained in prison for the rest of their lives. Same goes with Hope Rippey.Īlso Melinda is going to be released in September of next year. Why would you let someone who may kill again out on the streets? Laurie didn't even really seem all that remorseful when she was on Dr. It sickens me how the justice system in this country works. She did not complete all sixty years in jail. She seemed like the sweetest little girl.Īlso here is an update.Laurie Tackett is now released from prison. She did not deserve what happened to her. She helped drag Shanda out of the car with Hope. She's the one that hit Shanda over the head with a tire iron. She claims that she didn't spray Windex in Shanda's wounds but, she definitely did. I really wish that Toni stayed in jail until 2002, but she got released early. She chose not to say anything because she was afraid of the others. If she had then Shanda would be alive today. She could have contacted the police when they were at the gas station. Toni Lawrence may not have got involved, but she could have helped Shanda. Laurie Tackett and Hope Rippey helped in this horrible crime. She deserves every year that she has spent in prison. She was happy that she was out of her and her girlfriend's lives. Plus Melinda laughed at the fact that she killed Shanda. She should have to suffer the way that she made Shanda suffer. She needs to complete all sixty years of her sentence. ![]() ![]() She tried to appeal to get her sentence shortened. Yet, while she was on trial Melinda cried because she knew she was viewed as a murderer. She put a knife in the child's neck and helped strangle her. Melinda Loveless is the whole reason that this happened in the first place. All four of those girls are horrible individuals. Michael Quinlan did a very good job writing about this hard case. ![]()
