Edith Delgado goes home

"'I took a lot of things for granted - like the air that you breathe and the stars in the sky when you're driving home,' Delgado said."

That's good, honey. I'm glad you can enjoy all these things, because there are three people who haven't for almost a year, and in fact never will again, courtesy of your little white Mustang and the tricks you found it could play.

I'm also enjoying reading about how you were an honor student at your continuation school, and how you were just the best bank teller in all of Redwood City.

I'm also really enjoying reading the online defenses posted by your friends, epistles that run along the lines of "all of yall talking shit yall dont think about what would had happen if she would had died to. yall wouldnt be talking shit about her like that but since she is in jail and cant do shit she got all this people talking shit like if yall know her. just like she did it that couldnt of been someone else to. so is nat only her fault so put urself in her position and think about what you been saying about her cuz that couldnt of been you going through the same shit she is going throuhg right now. so FUCK ALL YALL HATERS AND THINK B4 U SPEAK." (Link here -- I was particularly struck by the post from the girl who Delgado stabbed in the leg in school. Nice.)

Adam and I had a big old brawl over this yesterday. He finds Delgado as unsavory a character as I do, but he feels that, from what he's seen, justice has been served.

That's hard for me to swallow. Three lives gone and she spends less than a year in prison? Is that really the value of three lives taken through no fault of their own?
