  • WESTERN 8 CAROLINIAN LETTERS TO THE EDITOR March 07, 2001 Money Talks, Fiske Walks OPEN SEASON FOR BABY KILLERS!!!!! That's right folks, here is the formula proven to work if you decide to murder your child: Step I: Carry child to term which consists of 36 weeks, 3 trimesters (252 days.) Step II: Have a beautiful baby girl then smother her to death. Dump body. Step III: Look as haggard as possible. Wear no makeup. Plead temporary insanity or better yet, have your friends, church members, and family plead your case as an upstanding citizen saying that you couldn't have done such a thing and that it was just a one time incident. Step IV: Final step if step three looks weak. Go ahead and say that you did it. Give all the gory details. The District Attorney will then reason that he will not have to spend the tax payers' money for a trial supposedly based on the premise that if the case had gone to trial, that the public wouldn't prosecute based on sympathy. Go to jail for 8 years or less (probably the latter), have the tax payers pay for your treatment and /or career training. Be released back into the public. This is the way that the 21st century justice system is working benefit the people!? Christina Marie Fiske relinquished her rights as a human being when she killed Jessica Nicole Fiske. Think about this: Jessica will never take her first step, have a first day of school, be a girl scout, or graduate from high school or college, but the woman who gave birth to her was given the opportunity to reach some of these milestones in life. Little Jessica was given NO opportunity. I wonder what the father of little Jessica thinks about all of this? I have heard a phase being used to sum up the judicial system of the United States which says, "Money talks and bulls—t walks". I once had some respect for the judicial system Questions to Ponder: Why does the goverment uphold the Death tax? When you die they tax your estate before your family gets a shot at it. Darylene Brown WCU 98' Honor Alumni & Staff member Fiske Sentence Not Sufficient to Keep a Child Safe' After reading the outcome of the Fiske case, I have become outraged. A minimum seven years and ten months just doesn't do justice to the crime at hand. Christina murdered an infant. Not just any infant but her own flesh and blood. So she has seemingly justified her act, so people continue to make excuses— she murdered her own newborn child, plain and simple. Lets look at some of the excuses that Christine and other supporters have supplied: Emotional State: - Her parents divorce, - Grandparent died, - Father's verbal abuse - Mother's battle with breast cancer Last time I checked, we had crisis centers, confidential counseling, psychologists, support groups — to name a few. Who is accountable for Christina seeking help? She is. At any time during her emotional problems did she seek help? Not that I am aware of. When as a society do we say, "Individuals are responsible for their actions?" If you choose not to obtain counseling that is a conscious decision and should be addressed as such. As to her character, let me first say, Christina was not on trial for being "of good moral character", she was on trial for murdering her newborn child. Any religious affiliation that could consciously address the court pertaining to Christina's past behavior should keep this in mind: If we could predict when someone is going to commit murder then we would not need murder laws, we would simply keep it from happening. How many people have you heard say, Oh yeah, I knew he was strange, malicious and evil. The fact that he/she killed someone does not surprise me. Now compare that to the statement: He/she was so normal. He/she helped within the community, was involved with the church, never bothered anyone, kind to animals, etc. Which do you hear more often when someone has been arrested or convicted of murder? Does that make the crime any more or less right? Where in the Bible does it state that sex outside of marriage that results in murdering a newborn is justified? Nowhere! Instead it states that sex outside of marriage is a sin and murder is against the . Ten Commandments. So for all you church goers that sympathize with Christina look within yourselves. Forgiveness is within the religion, but Christina was not on trial for forgiveness, she was on trial for murder. Everyday children are abused, some resulting in death, in America. As a society we are often heard saying, "How could that have happened", "What must the parent/person have been thinking to have done that to a child", etc. The answer is often times simple. Reverse the question. Why should the parent not abuse the child? Seven years and ten months. Is that answer enough to keep a child safe?
