If The Bitch Says She'll Kill Someone, Believe Her

When things like this happen you just have to shake your head and ask, "what were they thinking?"

Gravely ill woman kills son, is freed, kills husband
Tue Oct 10, 9:48 AM ET


A Bulgarian woman who killed her son was released from prison because of terminal cancer. She then went home and killed her husband, police said Tuesday.
The 57-year-old was sentenced to 15 years in jail for killing her 29-year-old son with a garden hoe in April 2005 while he was sleeping.
Last month, authorities judged her to be in the final stages of cancer and let her go home, where she stabbed her husband in the throat with a knife.
"It was established she was in the last stage of cancer, she had it all over her body," said a spokeswoman for the Bourgas regional police.
"They presumed she was feeling bad and she would treat herself and rest. But nothing of the kind. She got aggressive and ... she killed her husband."
The woman, from a village in eastern Bulgaria, has been taken into custody again and is awaiting a new trial.
"She threatened that, if she is released again, she will kill her second son as well," the police spokeswoman said.
"The whole case is like something from the twilight zone."

Now, I know she killed the husband, and not (as threatened) the second son. But, c'mon, she has nothing to lose, murderous intent and, based on past actions, the willingness to carry out violent acts.

What part of this scenario didn't send up a warning signal to the authorities? How could they be so naive as to believe that a dying, and clearly evil, person is no longer a threat?

I could never understand the reasoning behind letting terminally ill inmates out early just so they could die free. If they didn't want to die in prison, then they shouldn't have committed a crime in the first place.

i didn't even realize this was common practice. just b/c someone has terminally ill cancer doesn't mean they aren't still a threat to society.

Well, we are talking of Bulgaria, not Brooklyn.

Community standards?

To save money.
While in prison, you not only have to pay for their prison stay, but you have to pay for all their medical care as well.

Not forgetting, of course, the expression of the Malthusian principle that resulted from her early release.

And now they'll have to pay for another murder trial which they otherwise wouldn't have if they left her sorry ass in jail.

well, hopefully she'll die before that. And they'll save money on supporting the widowed husband. :tongue2:
