Hang on – you’re leaving because people are commenting on their disgust about a murderer? Wow.
Bottom line: she murdered someone and got a slap on the wrist. That’s disgraceful. And no, I don’t care that she’s managed to fart out a ‘designer greeting card company’. Perhaps if she’d done the right thing and accepted responsibility as a parent or even if she gave the kid up for adoption, that kid could have gone on to cure cancer. We’ll never know. A couple of years for intentionally ending a life is hardly paying your dues.

The murder is big issue, but there are a lot of little issues as well.
They had sex without thought of the consequences.
They hid the pragnancy, what did they thing would happen when it was time for the baby to arrive?
The did not choose an abortion (I don’t want to debate abortion) they choose to have the child, but did they ensure the mother was getting proper medical care? I doubt it because they were hiding the pregnancy.
The big day arrives and the don’t rush to a hospital to have the child.
The child dies.
At so many points they could have taking responsibility for their choice to have sex, and all I see is a pattern of avoidance with a deadly outcome.
2.5 years is hardly a punishment and I wonder if the irresponsible patterns of her life have changed at all.

So now the buzz I heard is, since you are staying, there is now going to be a “Bury the Hatchet” media event at W, featuring Buddy presenting you with a life size fondant cake of you “shaking hands” with Oscar, with a merlot reception after.

I have not forgoten about you. Ok I forgot to come online and warn you that my lovely wooden box of Tarot and oracle cards has been burried. My husband insists he saw the box while searching for documents, but that it is behind the pile of out grown baby stuff I need to graigslist/donate.
I’m working on getting to the cards. I have my runes, but I won’t offer a rune reading because that is not my strong suit and my books on the subject were boxed up so that hubby could build bookcases.

They wanted to do away with the child. And, to top it all off, they repeatedly denied responsibility for their actions by lying…
Sigh. OK. I’m really done, now. This is too intense to think about.

Even if you disagree with decisions Amy has made in the past, the fact is that she has thrown this event for 7 yrs and it gives back to the community and that is what’s important. Who thinks they are entitled to judge other people. The real question you all should be asking yourself is: “What have I done today, to help my fellow man or the planet?”

Please. Some of us walk our walk. But that doesn’t excuse us from lying and then fighting to avoid the kind of punishment we know we deserve for vicious crimes we might commit. How many people would serve far more than 2.5 years for what she did?
Why don’t you admit that it’s easy for some to forget the past when it’s convenient for them.

Bull. She could do a million different things to help other people without getting her picture published and her name out there. I have respect for people who do their time and then live humbly, cooking dinner for the homeless or visiting hospices or something giving of themselves without throwing a party about it. Fame and public appearances are not moral for convicted felons.

Things I didn’t do today:
I didn’t stab anyone in the face, I didn’t set a puppy on fire, nor did I kick an old lady in the keister, I didn’t even bash my newborn child’s head in, I mean who hasn’t wanted to do that at least once? Am I right, or what?
Things I did do today:
I held a door open for a few people, I smiled and said thank you to people who waited on me, I tipped, picked up a bit of trash on Washington Street and put it in a trash can. Which of course totally absolves me had I done any of those horrible things. I figure I deserve to do SOMETHING mean tomorrow considering how I’ve gone out of my way to give back to the community and all.
Yay me! I’m a good boy!
Look out, some random dude is totally gonna get kicked in the balls tomorrow.

I’m sure that Santa will have something nice for you even after that kick in the balls.
Beautifully written.

Amen, Easy.
Although…hang on: so according to shoppedope’s line of thinking, if OJ Simpson threw a few fundraisers and gave back to the community, he’d be in the clear? Interesting.
If we ‘disagree with decisions Amy has made in the past’? Really? Did you actually type that? Let me get this straight: she murdered a baby and threw it in a dumpster. Last time I checked, that’s not a choice you ‘disagree’ with. That’s murder and it’s disgusting.

Ironically, I had forgotten about the details of this case, then this article popped up, and then when someone recognized her name, I happened upon this special. If anyone else has forgotten what this chick and her boyfriend did, there is a show today at 3 on either VH1 or E (I think E) called Fatal Beauty 15 Most Notorious Women. Not a list I would like to be on!
