To anybody that reads this - I would appreciate it if you'd respond
I have posted a lot here over the last couple of days. I finally figured out last night (after watching Captivated again) why I feel so strongly about Pamela Smart and her situation. Its because I come from her age group. The 80s, the Mtv Generation, Generation X, whatever you want to call it - Im from the same generation as Pamela. SO, I can sit back and just imagine what it would have been like to be locked up at 22 years old - and to still be locked up at 47. Having been incredibly fortunate in my own life, my 20s and 30s were a complete joyride. Even the 40s are good, but not quite as good cuz you start to slow down. The point is - these years Im talking about are the absolute prime of your life. When they are gone, they are gone for good. I cant imagine a more tortuous feeling than knowing you have lost the prime of your life. This is what Pamela Smart has to live with every day. SO I say to all of you - is it not time to let this woman free???? ANd I say that even if she is guilty. There are arguments both ways. You're never gonna know the truth anyway so whats the point of hypothesizing on it??? Assuming the worst case scenario - which is that she convinced that young boy to kill her husband - assuming even that - I still say it is time to let her be free. Losing 24 years, and not just any 24 years, but the best years of your life is in my view more than enough punishment for anything that Pamela has done wrong. Let her live whatever life she has left as a free person. I'd appreciate any responses on this. I'm really curious as to how other people feel........
