Full story: The Gazette

Kristina Fetters doesn't know if she can ever atone for what she did as a 14-year-old. She says kids at that age don't think or reason like adults.

If they can't do the time don't do the crime. I don't care how old a person is, if they kill some one let them do life!!!

Sir - think of the person you were at 14 - and who you are today. I would hope that you have matured (however from this post that is not all that obvious) but most people do, grow, mature, and learn that one of lifes greatist lessons is learning to feel compassion for others. Your post is sad.

I've watched Keba grow. I met her when she was real young. She has grown up to be a very mature young Lady, but she also takes accountability for the crime that she committed. You would have to know the whole story before condeming her. She is really a sweet person. And I personally love her to death. I feel she should be given a second chance .

I also wanted to say there is 3 more I feel that should be given another chance in life who are in Mitchellville.
angel Stewert and Ruthann Veal. Ms. Veal is not guilty. Tatiana Dixon shouldn't have gotten a day for defending herself. The man who killed his neighbor had life, it was overturned and he ended upo with 10 yrs. Same case as Ms. Dixon. That poor Girl has life. Is it because he was white and she Black? Makes you wonder about the system.
