High profile crime, released, now what?

[geeman237]

This was/is quite a big news story here in the US. A young woman was convicted of aiding the suicide of a boyfriend. She's being released from prison now. This got me thinking, what happens to people like this once they are released? What do they do to enter back into normal society and get a job etc? Surely most employers would not want to hire her? Anyone got any experience or knowledge in this?

Do new identities not normally solve most of the issues here?

I remember this trial, those text messages she sent were very chilling, very calculated, she 100% wanted him to kill himself.

Clearly an absolute psychopath - I pity any bloke who ends up with her.

Not sure where she is now but Maxine Carr was given a new identity and relocated near me many years ago.

A friend was in a Bakery grabbing some lunch when the elderly ladies in the shop recognised her, refused to serve her and chased her out.

I've heard a number of people say she has just been relocated near them so she has been moved around a fair bit.

You can change your name all you want but when you face has been plastered all over the media it's a little harder to go unnoticed.

Hope it wasn't mistaken identity... imagine how it would feel if you looked like Maxine Carr... It would be likely that she doesn't look as she did (dye hair, etc).

The alternate scenario is that she hasn't relocated much but people are mistaking other people for her?

Dr. Harold Koplewicz: It's very hard to understand where the man says, to a friend, "Listen, I'm feeling pain. I don't wanna do this. I'm going to get out of the car." There's no way to seem to -- make sense of the fact that someone then says, a friend says, "Get back in the car and kill yourself."

"After she convinced him to get back into the carbon monoxide filled truck, she did absolutely nothing to help him: she did not call for help or tell him to get out of the truck as she listened to him choke and die," Justice Scott Kafker wrote in the state Supreme Judicial Court's decision, The Associated Press reports.


I hope it follows her for the rest of her (hopefully short) life.

Agreed.

I remember an article wrote at the time where quite a number of women had been attacked because they looked similar to her.

I saw a her doppelganger last year, I couldn't take my eyes off her!
