A Sad Commentary

June 8, 2011


I saw in the paper this morning that the man who kidnapped Elizabeth Smart got an extension of the time allotted to file an appeal of his sentence.

“I thought part of the plea agreement was that he and his wife wouldn’t appeal the sentence,” I thought.

Then: “Oh, wait. That was the other case.” (Jaycee Dugard)

Sad, sad, sad.
