IMO, a large part of the reason KC is "hated" is because of her defense team. If they were conducting themselves in a more professional manner, many people would not be quite as upset. No one likes to see a murderer go free, in particular a child murder, but if the DT were taking care of business on KC's behalf quietly, out of the limelight, things would cool off quickly. For an attorney to publicly proclaim a judge's order "stupid" is anything but professional and it not only puts him in a bad light, it reflects on his client.
Mason commented that KC is one who can turn her life around and recover from all that has happened to her. OK...that right there is an example of a statement that can incite. All that has happened to her is a direct result of her own actions.
If this DT really believes in KC and has faith that she is capable of turning her life around and living right, why are they so adamant that she not do probation? If KC were to be in society properly supervised for a year she might actually learn a lesson--one that she has never in her life had to learn. In short, probation could be a very good thing for this offender, and I cannot grasp why her DT is so dead-set against it given all their claims of wanting to do what's right for their client. It is not just about KC's safety in Orlando--the DT believes she should not have to serve probation at all, in any community.
I personally do not care where KC serves probation, as long as she serves. And it needs to be structured, as probation is supposed to be. There needs to be proper accounting made. The DT should just bring KC in to report as ordered, request a transfer to another state and then let the process unfold per DOC protocol. Whether a transfer is granted or not is between KC and her PO. I have preferences on what I would like to see happen, but my preferences are irrelevant.
