| You Are The Judge In This Case... How would you adjudicate it? 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. |

| I would say based on 32 years of good behavior, let the woman go!

| Yeah, why would they even bother? I guess REAL criminals are too scary.

| 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.

| 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.

| After reading the storey and considering her age and only being a user I hope they have compassion and let her go. But I'll bet a penny they want. She should write a book some day...A.H |

| 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. |
