& yes i do remember steven parent also, the one you call that fat nerdy teenager~ i just brought up sharon because just like stevie, i have been a fan of hers for many, many years~ so i apologize for you feeling i left the other victims out of this, i haven't~ & i am sorry you think i am being harsh~ but susan got life w/out parole & she should serve it for what she did~ along w/ the rest of them~ it's not like she commited a traffic infraction, or these killings were an "accident", it was a butcher, plain & simple~ & as many others i have seen the crime scene photos, the real ones, not the ones doctored up where the bodies are whited out~ so, is susan getting her just desserts?, hmmmmm as for me, i can sleep just fine at night knowing that she's not going anywhere~ i'm sure all of the victims, would have wanted some "compassion" when it came to how they died too, but susan & the rest of "the family" made sure that wouldn't happen~

Susan and the others did not get life without parole; originally they were all sentenced to death. That sentence was commuted to life in prison with the possibility of parole after the Supreme Court declared the death penalty unconstitutional in the mid-70's. There was no such sentence of life in prision without parole on the books in California when the sentence was commuted, which is why they all get a chance for parole every few years.
And I do think that she has been remorseful for quite some time, not just recentely.
Interestingly, prosecutor Bugliosi, who has always spoken very harshly of Adkins in discussing the crime, supported Adkins request for compassionate release.
