Sliwinski Gets Death Threats

By Tankboy in News on Oct 3, 2008 4:47PM

Look, we're incensed Jeanette Sliwinski got off so easily after killing three vibrant members of the local music community, but we find the news that she is now under increased police protection due to death threats she received shortly before her release from prison to be abhorrent. We can go back and forth for years about how her debt to society -- and specifically to the three families she decimated through her botched suicide attempt -- but threatening her well being is not a viable option. We would hope that the people involved would instead turn their wrath on a broken legal system and do their best to draw attention to that. [Trib]
