Susan Farrell, prisoner since 1990 in slaying of her husband, dies of coronavirus. She killed her husband after years of severe violent abuse that rape.
That is so sad. The article says she had also developed dementia. Just for argument’s sake, even we accept she did kill her husband, a life sentence without parole is disproportionate. She had vaginal and rectal prolapses but that was clearly not evidence enough of the abuse. She spent 30 years in prison until she died
This terribly sad story gets worse. Saw this thread on Twitter earlier about how prison staff treated Susan's cell mate for calling for help whilst she was dying. Warning it's pretty horrendous. What on earth has gone so wrong with our species? mobile.twitter.com/ScottHech/status/1257663897420652544
