Unfortunately she made a decision that KILLED SOMEONE with the intent of KILLING SOMEONE.
Her victims will never get to be 70. Let her rot.
And you’re acting like that 70 year old is innocent. That 70 year old intentionally murdered someone because she was upset. Yeah it was 53 years ago but that’s the same person. 53 years ago that 70 year old deprived another human being of the rest of their life because she got upset. I don’t think you’d have the same sympathy for other criminals just because their crime was decades ago.
I think people might be getting too hung up on the car and thinking it makes this less of a big deal. It’s the opposite though imo – you shoot a loaded gun, it’s a split second. You hit someone with a car, you’ve had plenty of time to think things through. You don’t tap the accelerator once and then they’re dead. You have to commit to the decision, and actively choose to not hit the brakes or swerve away or throw on the emergency brake.
I have no pity. She knew what she was doing, she chose to do it, and she thought about it beforehand.
Nobody argued that it does. They’re arguing that a 70 year old shouldn’t be held responsible for actions they took over 5 decades in the past - from when they were a person so far removed from who they are now that they’re effectively a different person.
No, they’re not literally a different person. Nobody’s actually arguing that lol.

If you’re the same person at 70 than you were at 17, that’s more of a you problem than anything. Like seriously, that’s not good.
I’m not claiming the person wouldn’t have any growth or change. The growth or change doesn’t negate that this girl committed premeditated murder.
