Text of 10News.com "Feedback" comment by Ms. Walsh:

Hello,

I am Marie Walsh’s daughter. I cannot express the extent of my gratitude to those who have been in support of my mother and her release, it means the world to my family. My dad, brother, sister and I are absolutely devastated by the loss of our mom. But every kind and supportive word empowers our fight to bring her home. Please continue to support us in any way you can.

As Abraham Lincoln once said, mercy bears richer fruit than strict justice. My mother has been nothing but a loving mother, wife and contributing member of society over the past 32 years. Putting her in prison would not only waste taxpayers dollars and burden a overcrowded prison system, but completely devastate my family. You are not taking a criminal off the streets, you are taking a wonderful mother away from her children.

To those of you who believe differently, I leave you with the following quote:

“As one reads history, not in the expurgated editions written for schoolboys and passmen, but in the original authorities of each time, one is absolutely sickened, not by the crimes that the wicked have committed, but by the punishments that the good have inflicted; and a community is infinitely more brutalised by the habitual employment of punishment than it is by the occasional occurrence of crime.” ~Oscar Wilde

Sincerely,

Maureen Walsh
