What in the world is wrong with this 61 year-old lady setting fires like she did? What was she trying to prove? At 61 years of age, a person would have known better than to do something like that on purpose. I will say when she gets out of the Harlan County Deten-tion Center, she ought to come to her senses the next time.

The fire was set multiple times down both sides of the rd and she was caught still setting the fires? Brainiac for sure. At 61 I don't think your arsonist tendancies just come out. What else has she caught on fire? IS she mentally ill beyond the arson, bipolar, schziphrenic?

What kind of screwball does this? Did she stop and think that she could kill someone? She should have to make restitution along with a harsh sentence.
