When it comes to heinous murders it feels like the (reformed) criminal need to meet a very high standard for us to consider releasing him, or her. In this case, there are a lot of "mitigating" factors that sway people to think she should be let out. For example, she's old-- but then again so was Charles Manson. She's female--but then again so was Aileen Wuornos. It was the sixties...she was young...she was part of a cult...etc. I doubt she'd commit another murder but the fact is, perhaps tragically for Leslie, she was involved in a series of murders that terrorized a city and nation. She should stay in prison.
