mapleman, I know a person, personally, that is a MENSA member. He is very intelligent, by the books. But he lacks in the common sense category. His IQ is so high, that he surpassed the so called 2 percentile. A high IQ does not make one 100% intelligent.

I happen to be a family member of one of the other people on going trial for the murders ms Wright committed, I believe they should be released and put on probation due to the fact the only mistake they made was being her friend ,and not going to the police when she told what she had done ,since three other people knew about what happened,two were there when she shot Richards Jr and they haven't been arrested or charged with anything.

ArkansasYankee, itsjustme and the rest. No, I'm not new here. Have been posting here for several years now, howbeit rarely. I do see your frustration in dealing with repeat offenders and a flawed justice system. I also see some of you being juvenile in your name calling and know it all attitudes. And itsjustme, you call me feebleminded and ignorant, thats another example of you calling people names when you don't know what you are talking about. I retired at 50, have a MENSA IQ, and by the grace of God and his providence do have a very good life. I used to have a VERY critical spirit as you do, but after a lifetime of criticizing others finally realized how defeatist that attitude was. I try to love others and see the good in everyone and it sure makes for a better and more restful nights sleep. But carry on as you see fit and I will do the same.

Mapleman, let me shed come light into your ignorant life, if I may. You say I am bitter. Well, let me answer that with this. When it comes to people that want to kill others, rob people of their hard earned money, steal things from people that work their asses off to provide for their families, rape women and children, want to live off of the government teat rather than get a job, then yes, I am bitter as hell towards these people. And yes, my life isnt perfect by no means, but the last time I checked, I have not robbed, raped, stolen anything or murdered anyone. I am tired of supporting people that refuse to get a job, that rely on criminal activity to make a living, I am tired of a sorry ass excuse of a justice system not giving victims true justice. Does that give me the right to be bitter? You damn right it does. But you keep living in your fine lil world and it will be all good for you. Glad to see these things do not upset the feeble minded ones like yourself.

mapleman; Just for the record, ( new here? ), itsjustme and Its Just Me are two different posters on here. Thought I'd point that out so you won't be confused. itsjustme isn't alone either; see how many votes there are? We "the People" are tired of the criminals, tired of the senseless murders, and tired of the justice system. As one of our regulars says; take a life, give a life. itsjustme is right, we are tired of having to suppport these worthless "human beings" for the rest of their days. We have the death penalty here in AR; let's use it! See the smile on her face? Makes me sick; do you think you'd be smiling if one of the men she murdered belonged to your family? And if you think a few typo's are out of line, and you are new here - you ain't seen nuthin' yet! Wait for some of the others on here; they are a hoot!

Layla 37. If you really want to correct spelling and grammar errors, first make sure you don't have any of your own.There should be a comma after trash, its than to kill not then to kill, and its INBRED not inbreed. Your ignorance is shown much more than me hitting 2 keys at once. But point well taken; I will proofread better in the future. And you are still in danger of hellfire for judging this woman. You do not know her situation just as I don't know yours and your hidden skeletons. Somehow I feel you have a closet full.

Mapleman...you need help and you also need to learn to spell. Tyerrible is spelled...terrible. This POS MS Wright doesn't deserve life and we the people shouldn't have to pay for her to live on the deaths of the lives she took. She is a POS, piece of trash and a coward for a human being!!!! She buried 2 people in her yard, she took the lives of these people. I'm sure whatever these guys did to her, she could have found other means to handle the situation then to kill and bury them. I agree with ITSJUSTME and sorry mapleman but you and your inbreed hillbillies can save the booohooo sob story for other that give a shizzzzz.

Two life sentences. That means that we the tax payers are stuck with having to feed and house this piece of trash and give her free medical and dental care. Sad part is the victims families have to pay to keep the one that killed their loved ones alive. Yeah, thats justice. What a joke.
