A Huron woman who has been denied parole 7 times since murdering her young daughter will again ask for her freedom next Wednesday.  Debra Jenner has been locked up since 1987, when she stabbed her 3-year-old about 70 times because the child was fussy.

Jenner insisted that she was innocent until 2002 when former Governor Bill Janklow cut her life sentence to 100 years if she'd finally admit to slaying her daughter.  The reduced sentence made her eligible for parole.  If never paroled, a state law dealing with prison sentences will require Jenner to be released in 2039 -- when she'll be 83.

She brutally murdered her child. Claimed innocence for years. Then finally confessed when offered a cut. Keep her where she is. She doesn't not deserve another change.

I remember this murder very well, she killed her daughter, cleaned up the mess and lied. Leave her where she is. She is already a waste of our taxpayer dollars.
