	Re 'Puppet master' Todorovic back behind bars, DiManno, March 27

	I am a great admirer of Rosie DiManno for her style and substance,
and, of course, for her great sports writing. But she seems to be
lacking in compassion, a basic human trait that is getting scarce in
our society when dealing with people who commit a crime and then pay
their dues for it.

	First with Karla Homolka and now with Melissa Todorovic, she seems
unrelenting. They both committed or participated in heinous crimes,
but both went through a rigorous judicial system and were set free
after serving their sentences.

	Todorovic perpetrated her crime at age 15 and her parole officer said
recently that “she had made significant strides in dealing with
jealousy and rage.”

	Yet, DiManno writes, “Todorovic’s de facto position has always
been to kill or have killed. Not a word she speaks can be believed.”

	Our world is crying for compassion, Rosie. Let’s be kind to those
who once failed, even their victims might agree if they could. Jaime
