If this is a state conviction, the article didn't say, then this monster just has to play the "abuse card" and the Governor will more than likely issue a pardon. Also using the sympathy angle so she can be with her poor little cancer stricken daughter.

I give her no more than a year tops and she is back on the street.

"""""" French's attorney said her 3-year-old daughter, who has cancer, will be dead and her 10-year-old son will be grown by the time French is freed from prison.

Aarons said French turned down a plea deal that carried a minimum four-year prison sentence."""""""

This is stil good that they took it seriously enough to give HER as harsher sentance than the MEN. Is there anyway of writing to the court and thanking them for this? Postitive reinforcement!

SanteFe newpaper, letter to the editor

I looked over the letters to the editor, and the overwhelming majority are in support of the sentencing. People are getting sick of women getting away with murder.

Those letters are well worth reading. Society is evolving, for the moment and in regard to gender fairness at least, in a good direction. The men and women who posted were generally very in favor of the verdict and in more than one case indicated that they may be growing sick of seeing women getting off easy just because they're female.

We are getting through.
