...You can't predict how someone will act in the future and you don't know if someone is authentically remorseful.
Neither of which is (or should be) a consideration in this particular case.
While we 'don't know' if Atkins is 'authintically remorseful', it's not too difficult to predict how she will act in the future.
She lies in a prison hospital because of something she already did. She is being punished for a homicide she committed 39 years ago. Despite the fact that she won't be committing any more homicides, and despite her current grave condition, the State of CA has decided she will remain there until she dies.
Yay, State of CA.
