INDIANAPOLIS � An Indiana woman put on death row at age 16 for
killing an elderly Bible school teacher is scheduled to be
released Monday after serving a prison term that was shortened
after the state Supreme Court intervened.
Paula Cooper's death sentence at such a young age sparked
international protests and a plea for clemency from Pope John
Paul II. Now 43 years old, Cooper is being given a second chance
at her life.
Cooper was 15 when she and three other teenage girls showed up
at Ruth Pelke's house on May 14, 1985, with plans of robbing the
78-year-old Bible school teacher. Pelke let Cooper and two of
the teen's companions into her Gary home after they told her
they were interested in Bible lessons.
As the fourth teen waited outside as a lookout, Cooper stabbed
Pelke 33 times with a butcher knife. Then she and the other
girls ransacked the house. The four girls fled with Pelke's car
and $10.
Cooper's three accomplices were sentenced to prison terms
ranging from 25 to 60 years. But Cooper, who confessed to
Pelke's slaying, was convicted of murder and sentenced to die in
the electric chair. At the time -- in 1986 -- she was the
youngest death row inmate in the U.S.
Some people believed Cooper deserved to die, but the punishment
enraged human rights activists and death penalty opponents
around the world, including those who viewed the teen as a
victim of a racist criminal justice system.
Pope John Paul II urged that Cooper be granted clemency in 1987,
and in 1988 a priest brought a petition to Indianapolis with
more than 2 million signatures protesting Cooper's sentence.
The Indiana Supreme Court set Cooper's death sentence aside in
1988 and ordered her to serve 60 years in prison after state
legislators passed a law raising Indiana's minimum age limit for
execution from 10 to 16. The state's high court also cited a
1988 decision by the U.S. Supreme Court barring the execution of
juveniles younger than 16 at the time of the crime.
Since then, the U.S. Supreme Court has found it unconstitutional
to execute anyone younger than 18.
"People still know about this case," Indianapolis attorney Jack
Crawford, who was the Lake County prosecutor during Cooper's
murder trial, told The Indianapolis Star. "The name Paula Cooper
still resonates, and she's going to attract some attention when
she is released."
But, he said, Cooper has done her time and may yet contribute to
society. Crawford said he has come to oppose the death penalty
since Cooper's conviction.
Cooper's sister, Rhonda Labroi, said she hopes people will see
Paula as more than a killer. After getting in trouble 23 times
during her time in prison, Paula Cooper turned to education,
earning a bachelor's degree in 2001.
"She was just a child at the time that happened, and now she is
an adult and people should wait and see and give her a chance,"
Labroi said. "Give her an opportunity. Maybe she'll do some
wonderful things for children who are growing up and aren't so
fortunate, like she was.
"There are second chances," she said. "It seems like God has
given her another chance. I think if people give her a second
chance, she'll do fine."
Fuck the bitch. Kill her.

White Pussies formulated on Tuesday :
beaters on Sunday Football.
Why can't white men play the game? Fuck! 3 hours for a game and
only 20 minutes of actual play!
And why aren't guns allowed into NFL games? Hell, the NFL and
NASCAR doesn't even trust the average USA imbecile with more than 6
cans of shitty beer. Guns are verboten. Hitler never allowed guns
into car races or football matches, and he was a Catholic.
At least he was white. Ted Cruz can't say the same. His daddy moved
to Castro loving Canada because he hates the USA.
Who do you like? A fucking son of a Cuban from Canada? Or a black man
from Hawaii?
Oh, I get it. You voted for McCain. He's from Panama.
Indiana is a shit hole full of white trash welfare cases who rely on
agricultural subsidies to survive.
They're as capitalist as the leader of North Korea.
