She didn’t kill them…

I’ve got some vital information for all you Daily Mail readers, for I know how you get all worked up over your sensationalist headlines without reading any further, are you ready for it? Here goes; Maxine Carr did not kill Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman, therefore your comparison to Myra Hindley is inaccurate, not to mention unjust.
Now I am going to ask you to do one for thing for me, I know you are going to find this difficult but take it slowly and you might learn something. I want you to take a step back from the hideousness of the actual crime committed by Ian Huntley (Maxine Carr’s boyfriend, not her. Do you get it yet?) and forget those cute pictures of those innocent little girls, just for one moment. Now imagine something just as repulsive has happened in your community, are you still with me? Now think of the person you love the most, husband, wife, son, mother, father? Now imagine they were alone in the house on the night of the murder and have already said they were the last to see the girls alive. The police are about to descend upon them like a pack of hounds. What if it never crossed your mind that your loved one would commit such an atrocity? Don’t you think it would be so much easier for everyone; your loved one, you, the community, and the police (because then they can get along with finding the real criminal) if you just told them you were in the house too? Are you telling me that the thought wouldn’t even cross your mind, not even for a split second?
For she probably only had a split second, and there it was, it was said, no going back now.
If at any point during the above paragraph you thought, ‘but my loved one would never do anything so terrible.’ then you have proved my point.
So she lied to the police, she was tried and sentenced, she was punished accordingly, she served her time and now she is free. Except she never will be free because of people like you, oh Daily Mail reader and your pathetic sensationalist bog roll of a ‘news’ paper and its idiotic and illogical insinuations. Yes rather than trying to pick up the pieces of her life, where she left off, she has been stripped of her friends, family and her identity, all for that one misguided mistake.
And before you start going on about your hard earned taxes being spent keeping her in bullet proof vests, don’t forget that it was people like you, threatening to take the law into your own hands, that caused the need for anonymity to arise.
And I know you are sitting there muttering something about the girls’ families and their life sentences. Don’t you dare insult their grief by suggesting that having Maxine Carr hounded for the rest of her life, would somehow alleviate their pain.
The murders of Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman were sickening, everyone agrees with you on that one. Ian Huntley will never see the light of day and it looks as if there will be a tightening of policy so that accused sexual offenders do not work with children. Please let us calm down about Maxine Carr, her vilification is not going to help anyone.
