Fugitive Mom Arrested in San Diego After 32 Years on the Lam....
SANTEE, Calif. — Marie Walsh kept a low profile for 32 years, trying to escape her past life as Susan LeFevre.
She raised three children with her husband of 23 years, Alan, who never knew she was using an assumed identity. Authorities wanted her for escaping from a Detroit prison a year into a maximum 20-year sentence on heroin charges.

Apparently her short stint in prison was all that was needed. A model citizen, since. One size does not fit all. Let her go and enjoy the rest of her life.

Hey, those gangbangers are just misguided, misunderstood children, waiting for someone to recognize their full potential! NOT!! Dripping sarcasm!!! The woman turned over a leaf, and has lived a model life. But, on the other hand, she has to held accountable, just as any other person should be held accountable. I have no idea what the punishment should be, maybe some kind of civil service type duty, you know, community service. Just don't destroy what she was able to raise from the ashes of her previous life.

True, but still maybe a short time on probabtion and definitely a fine. The taxpayers did pay for her initial incarceration and the cost to relocate her as well as maintain the files on her. Nothing is not enough to cover the expenses.
I say let her go. Completely--maybe even a "good job turning your life around" from the judge. She didn't do anything really bad to begin with. She hurt no one. The judge gave her too much time. She's led a good life.

After 32 years without criminal involvement, married and raised 3 children, kicked a heroin habit, stayed off it, I would give her a good citizen award and set her free.

There was a similar story not too long ago of a man who escaped a chain gang in the south, fled to Chicago or Detroit, married and raised a family for 20-30 years before being found out. The state refused to extradite him back to the original state. Let her go, time served. If it had been murder I would re-incarcerate her.
She was young and dumb and addicted to heinous drug. She made a poor decision and obviously the year in prison served its' purpose. Prosecuting her would be absurd. I would give her 90 days unsupervised probation only to make a point that I took notice of the escape charge.
i would hate to be the judge on that one, she is not someone who belongs in jail but she did commite a serious crime. i would probably have to let her go, because she has 3 children, and it would probably punish them more that her.

Yes, quite true...a "1932" movie was made about a fellow.."I Was a Fugitive From A Chain Gang" (Paul Muni) was the leading actor. After escaping and fleeing, from a Georgia Chain Gang to Chicago, over the years... he worked his way up to superintendent of a large construction firm. He married his landlady afterwards, and she turned him in, years later.. after he was going to leave her for another woman, because of her boozing. Georgia authorities unsuccessfully tried to extradite him, as the Governor of Illinois refused to do so, because of his high social standing in the community. Georgia authorities then offered him a deal , and said he would be paroled after serving (1) year, if he volunteered to go back. He went back and found they had lied to him, and tacked on more time to his original sentence. He escaped a second time, and disappeared. Great movie...(4) stars.

I agree 100% with you BB!! She had to been watching her back at all times and living in fear of getting picked up.
extradite, as a judge i wont eliminate her original sentencing just because it was unfair
id have to follow the law
if i was the judge in her original case, id give her one year at most
i didnt sit through the trial so i dont know what happened
She served her sentence. She's been living in fear for 32 years. What she's accomplished is short of a miracle. When will her book or movie come out? LOL!
