From what I understand, being the victim of identity theft can be a complete disaster. Given the way our society is set up, having a bad mark on your credit report can be really damaging in some very important areas - say your ability to rent or get a loan to buy a house.

And on top of that, although awareness of identity theft has gone up recently, it's still no small task to deal with the cleanup that has to happen if someone runs off with a credit card in your name.

All this is to say that two years in prison seems like a pretty light sentence to me.

That said, the biggest deterrent is the frequency with which a rule is enforced, not its severity.

If you got charged $25 EVERY TIME you failed to stop completely at a stop sign, as opposed to $150 once in a blue moon, everyone would be making full stops...

She ought to serve her sentence in a men's prison - so as not to waste her considerable assets.

People of this caliber do not deserve to live in any society, they prey upon everyone, especially the trusting type. What ever happened to the "ten commandments"? No, I'm not the religious person type, but I do wunder what went wrong with common decency!

The comments which I left about the alleged murderer currently held in Italy had been deleted.

Perhaps this was done intentionally?

You and the other alleged murderer fans do not like it when people comment that they rather believe scientific evidence than the prime murder suspects agents e. g. family, friends, mercenaries, self promoters and fast buck merchants etc.

I do not understand your rationale, do you want comments all over the place or do you prefer to have them contained in a blog? An enigma, really, or do you not think strategically?

I don't believe you would be trying to intentionally deceive your viewer ship, but I do know one "journalist" who seems to be doing this and she is very aggressive when it comes to dissenters.

BTW, you might want to download a program which will allow you to post comments to SeattlePI forums even though two IP addresses have already been banned and perhaps more.

Anyway,

I believe murderers must be punished, not doing so is a slap in the face of the victims and their relatives, not to mention the general public.

This re-minds me of a case in Italy where a University student had been viciously murdered.

Unfortunately some of the so called journalists at SeattlePI seem to be supportive of the suspected murderer by publishing favourable articles about the prime murder suspect while at the same time actively remove comments from people who believe in justice and would like to see justice served.

Those un-ethical SeattlePI journalists should be ashamed of themselves.

You are bringing your employer into disrepute which will result in lost potential revenue. You might want to consult the accounting and marketing department before acting irresponsibly.
