I know she didn't commit murder.
I only wrote she enjoys "killing" people.
Someone who commits an armed robbery certainly has no problems with killing people, otherwise she wouldn't use a gun for her robberies, right?
An armed robbery is a very violent crime and she should stay in prison as long as possible.

I have to disagree with you because possession of the firearm doesn't indicate that she would have commited murder or wouldn't have a problem doing so. I believe that the gun was on her person but that she never brandished it during her heists. It may have served as an instrument of intimidation for her but I do agree with you that she has to be punished for her crimes and I hope she attones for her actions and the stress that she has undoubtedly caused to her former bandmates.

This absolutely is another wrinkle in our fabric of our metal culture. As for Purgatory I wish it is a case of mistaken identity, though a gun was found on her so it's not likely, Having met her and share the stage with her and her band she never seem like the type that would pull of such a crime. The only thing I can say is that, we metal heads are not all thieves, in fact we rather starve then to rob someone. May that be a lesson to all you metal heads that we have to portray our imagine not as thieves but hard working people that are willing to make sacrifices to get what we need in life. Good luck to all the members in Divine Infamy.
