Sarah Kruzan: Sentenced to Life Without Parole at Age 16

[PaulMacC]

Nothing can justify murder. Nothing.

Self defence isn't murder. I don't know the ins and outs of this story but if she murdered him then she deserves life. Simple.

If I was going to be killed I would do everything in my own power to prevent that.

Thats really narrow minded to be honest and it sounds like that law is too.

[PaulMacC]

I agree with Joe. She shouldnt be jailed for life.

"Sara Kruzan grew up with her mother in RIVERSIDE MOTHER******, California"

This was not a self defence case. If it was going on from her youth obviously it's difficult to get away from that but she quite clearly had time to go to the police or something as she was still school age and as far as I'm aware not locked up in GGs house for all her time. If at the time or her killing him he was attempting to kill her then it's self defence, otherwise it's the premeditated murder that she's been convicted of. So she's 16 and not 60, that means nothing. She still killed a man no matter how awful a person he was and the law shouldn't bend to say that a killing to improve her life is the same thing as killing to save her life, especially when there were other ways of getting change to come around

Couldn't really care. The law is there for a reason and in no circumstance should be be broken. Murder is murder.

if you were in her situation i bet youd want a less harsher punishment...

[FlyingJesus]

Yeah and I'm sure mass murderers and terrorists wish there were more lenient punishments when they get caught but that doesn't change much

yeh but they know that what theyve done deserves harsh punishment. She said she knew she deserved punishment, but what she didnt know. I think killing a man for raping is a lot less serious than the person that was in the news for killing her two daughters, who will actually get out..

No, the sentence is unjustified, only by law.

What a fine argument you bring across :rolleyes:

[Hushie]

I feel sorry for her, doesn't deserve life
