[Magdalen] Heather Cook

[Lynn Ronkainen]

It is hard not to judge, isn't it?  So many aspects of this crime are 
difficult, all framed by her addictions, as her decisions and actions seemed 
to be. If she gets/stays sober and is able to get through this and move on 
in life, after her  prison term, I think she will probably continue to 
suffer anguish for the rest of her life and be known because of her high 
profile situation and profession.  That's a different kind of punishment, 
sometimes worse than 'doing time'.

single bit of talent left and could say, "I used everything You gave me."
