After reading her Bio. heads need to roll.The hospital sad no problem with drugs,drinking and such and let her out. She should have been kept at least till the hospital fully checked her out. I hope the judge didn't agree to let her out of the hospital. Brain damage from McKnight beating her and at least two suicide tries an a rich married baseball player using her.Her children are taken away and her boyfriend kills himself a month before. How nice dad leaves the house and she is fine well why in the heck was their a GUN left in the house! Sad that she was not helped at the mental health center as she should have been!
