CHANNEL SURFING

How channel surfing led me on a letter writing campaign... It was near the end of October in 2017 that I was sitting in a rundown sleepout just north of Greymouth on New Zealand's West Coast when I was just channel surfing when I came across a TV program called "Killer Women" on Criminal Investigation; it was presented by Piers Morgan. On this particular episode was one featuring a young lady aged 24 who as a 16 year old masterminded the slaughter of her own family. Her father survived to tell the tale but her mother and two brothers did not. The woman's name is Erin Caffey and she came across as someone who could be the girl next door.  The story is an interesting one; you can watch it on youtube by typing in Erin Caffey in the search engine.

She arranged to meet a young man for a date after they met through Facebook however, her motive was robbery. Her male friends carried out the mugging but in the process, a scuffle followed with one of the young men shooting the victim. Jennifer, it is understood was not even at the scene of the robbery. She never even intended for this to happen.. In Florida, all participants in a fatal robbery are equally charged with murder. The severity of the sentence has shocked a lot of people and the question should really be asked "How does this compare with other cases of murder?" One just needs to read the newspapers or watch television to know there are some horrific cases. The judge had the opportunity to use his discretion here so why didn't he? one wrong + one wrong = one ri
