A/N: I'm ba-aack! Oh, don't look so scared, this is a good thing! Thank you to NightWolfMoon for this idea of the blog! Okay, so as a thank you for getting so many reviews, the 105th reviewer will get a oneshot in any category they want (so long as I know what it is. This may take a few tries, or we can just go with the whole Good Luck Charlie category)...unfortunately, this can't be an anonymous reviewer, so...yeah.

Hey, it's Kaycee! So, I assume everyone has heard of the whole Roxy Baker and Pete White situation. If not, go here, and read the article. If that's not enough information, check out either the Wikipedia article or the Denver newspaper archives. There's a whole ton of information there, following the whole trial and everything. If you're too lazy to do that, in short, in 2012, two then-high school students set a Denver high school on fire. Pete White was sentenced for life, and Roxy Baker is being let out on parole—today, in fact.

I think it's kind of crazy they're letting Baker out, especially since she helped to kill a girl. Well, apparently, it was an accident, but still! Pete White was declared legally insane, so there's no way they're letting him out, but Roxy Baker…they proved she was very much in her right mind.

The thing is, she killed a girl, and the family was left behind. Actually, Roxy dated the girl who died's older brother, PJ, I think it was. Yeah, that's right, I'm pretty sure, at least. Roxy dated PJ Duncan, I think it was, killed his little sister, Tina or Teddy or something like that, and left the family's parents, 14 year old brother and 3 year old sister (at the time) grieving.

I don't think she should've been let out. It's not fair to the family, especially as they were denied the right to press charges because the state was doing it. At the very least, she shouldn't have been let out for another decade or so, especially since she was involved in arsonry, third degree murder and a whole ton of other junk.

In a spoken confession from Baker, she stated, "I didn't know the fire would be as big as it was. I thought it would be small and harmless. Besides, Pete had told me that there was no one in the building. He'd never lied to me before, and I'd known him since birth. He was my best friend. And I would never hurt Teddy. She was like a sister to me, a slightly younger sister, especially as I was engaged to her older brother. I would never hurt the Duncans." Apparently, she was crying as she did this. Her story is believable, especially when you compare the facts.

Prior to the arsonry case, Baker was your stereotypical "good girl". She dated PJ for three years, never got a detention once in her high school career, constantly did community service and helped out an orphanage. She usually was seen with either PJ or Teddy Duncan, and it was true, according to sources close to both Baker and the Duncans, Teddy was like a sister. They would have graduated together, Baker as the salutatorian. She and Teddy, along with Ivy Wentz and Caroline Barlow, were well known as local musicians. Baker was on the honor roll and anytime a local disaster happened, Baker would be one of the first to help.

Another point to bring up was that Baker was abused. When she was nine, her father was arrested while Baker and her mother were placed under government protection. She honestly could have thought there was nothing wrong with what she was doing.

So maybe she just made a mistake that night, maybe she was just good at not getting caught previously, or maybe she honestly didn't know it was wrong.

I personally think it was a mix of the three. She made a mistake getting involved, but maybe she'd done this before and never gotten caught, and maybe she didn't realize it was wrong.

But that's just me. Tell me, what do you, my readers think?

MirrorMirrorOnMyWall: She's a horrible person. She should die!

RoadRipper: Roxy Baker? More like Roxy Murderer!

WhoAreYou: I think it was a mistake. She seems like a nice person.

Boomboom: She deserves to die. The ***** killed a living girl. She killed a person who could've changed the world—there's no reason for her to stay alive. Who cares if she's nice? Hitler was nice, and look at what he did! He did like community service and never drank and everything, but he still killed six million plus people!

BarlowGirlLover: She made a mistake, she repented, and we should all forgive her. Look at her record. She was able to help many, many people, shouldn't we help her?

.Love: yea but she killed a grl. There has 2 b punishment 4 dat.

Moonstar54321: the girl needs to die. If the guy is going to die, so is the girl. She's obviously insane and there's no reason to unleash an insane person on the world. There's already enough insanity running around.

Shadowleaf264: If you were in her shoes, wouldn't you want to be forgiven? And really, Mona, really? Aren't you crazy too?

xXEdwardxXxCullenxXx: It's murder. A life for a life—fair penalty.

PercabethQueen: I actually knew her. Roxy would never try to kill anyone, not on purpose. It was Pete who was the evil one. Roxy was innocent, and she deserves a new chance at life.

Moonstar54321: Yes, really, Shade. I'm insane, but I take medication. AND I've never killed anyone. SHE has. Therefore, it's totally different.

DesperateHousewife: A life for a life? Doesn't Pete White's life count as retaliation for hers?

inkheartforever18181: Roxy Baker AND Pete White ****** up a life.

xXEdwardxXxCullenxXx: Both lives for hers. An honest member of the school system versus a murdererous duo? I choose the honest member. Roxy Baker doesn't ******* deserve to live!

FallenAngel: The mother******* ***** deserves to rot in **** for the rest of ******* eternity! I hope she screams like a *****

Kaycee: Can we please keep the cussing to a minimum? There might be innocents who stumble on this blog. FallenAngel, I'm afraid I'm going to have to ban you.

Unlovedx345: why don't we just agree to disagree? We can all believe what we want to.

PJDuncan: I don't blame Roxy. I blame Pete, sure, but not Roxy. I dated her for two years—I think I'd know her pretty well. And Teddy…yeah, we all miss her, but Charlie's growing up without the pain of losing her. Unfortunately, she doesn't even know Teddy exists.

givelaughlearn: i don't belive ur pj. pj wud b mad roxy 4 killin his sis. ur not him.

Omgjb!: Maybe the family has moved on, givelaughlearn.

WeLive: Maybe it was just Teddy's time. The family obviously still misses her, but they're learned to move on. It's like that song, We Live. "But with life we never know when we're coming up to the end of the road. So what we do then, with tragedy around the bend. We live, we love, we forgive and never give up, 'cause the days we are given are gifts from above and today we remember to live and to love."

SuperChick: That's Superchic[k], right? From the 2006 album?

WeLive: That's the one. Taylor's Tourettes did a cover, though. Doesn't compare to the original.

PJDuncan: Seriously, guys, we've moved on. We still love her, but we've forgiven Roxy for what she's done.

Eckfactor5555: Why do I doubt that?

Review, por favor! Remember, the 105th reader gets a oneshot!
