Self-Correcting Problem...

First off, what does it say when your own attorney thinks you're bugnuts insane?

Alabama professor's lawyer regrets calling her 'wacko'

(CNN) -- The defense attorney appointed to represent an Alabama professor accused of shooting her colleagues said Friday he regrets describing her as "wacko."

But at a news conference, Roy Miller said "something's wrong with this lady."
That's HER lawyer, folks; that's not the prosecuting attorney talking there.

This jumped out at me, though (and hence the title):

Bishop is under suicide watch in jail, Miller said.
Here's an idea: leave about 15 - 20 feet of rope in the cell, give the poor woman some privacy, and hope she does the right thing - problem solved, and no expensive trial!

That is all.

I like the way you think, Jay, but I'd be happy to take care of the problem for them myself. Save the state a little money (not that I won't write the expenses off on my state taxes...fair is fair, after all).

Hear frickin' hear. There is next-to-no doubt that this literal whackjob, even as identified by her own attorney, did it, so there is really no hitch with the non-existant possibility of an innocent person offing themselves due to stress or the impending possibilities or whatnot.

If this girl wants to take care of herself, then more power to her, and let us all give her a moment.

But, then again, I have never exactly been an opponent of suicide - after all, the only thing a person truly owns is their life.

Make the rope a little shorter. We do think a like.

See Ya

Your solution, while practically perfect in every way, just won't fly. Not enough billable hours for the lawyers. Pity though.

Isn't it traditional for school shooters to off themselves at the scene of the crime? She must be crazier than most.
