Mrs. Shakita,
Yes, it was in 1988 when she released "Child Star." What a great book, 500 plus pages of her journey in Hollywood, politics, motherhood, etc. I ditched work and went to Dallas to meet her. It was so much fun. I rehearsed what I wanted to say to her the night before so I wouldn't say anything silly. She was gracious and it was such a treat.
I hear she doesn't give out autographs anymore because of autograph retailers.

If she is given 50 years, she would have to serve at least 1/2 of that to be eligible for parole. I think if it's considered a violent offense, they make you serve at least 1/2 of your original sentence.

My last post regarding this...I promise...
If you're really bored and you want to see some weird stuff in the name of "public interest" - just take a look at the official Texas Death Row Page.

Refiner: You have to remember it's Texas, and it's a whole another country. The death penalty is not a punishment in this crime, as she is being tried for murder which carries a maximum of life in prison. If convicted of 1st degree murder and given a life sentence, she would have to serve 30 years before being eligible for parole.
She has already pleaded guilty to tampering with evidence. If she were smart she'd plead guilty to manslaughter...

how do you prefer your escargot's?.
with butter and garlic sauce or without?.
i like them with butter and garlic with a sprinkling of parsley too.. englishman.
How about at the bottom of my aquarium?
would you call watchtower and tell them we are ashamed of them?.
would you call this judge and tell him that he made a lethal ruling?.
would you offer your insights to the right people, who can demand answers and change and get that insane judge off the bench?.
How about "what would you do for a DQ Dilly Bar?"
my sister-in-law's husband was raised as a jehovahs witness in north yorkshire and was educated at home by his mother along with his 5 brothers and sisters.
i remember many years ago when it first became common knowledge, many brothers and sisters thought that this method of education was ideal for witnesses who wanted to remain separate from the world, but all the kids from our congregatation had a state education.
i guess my question is, was home education only limited to my in-laws husbands family, or were any of you educated at home?
My sister-in-law is a former teacher and is home schooling her oldest. He just turned 7 and is exceptionally bright. The other two are too young. My nephew plays soccer, goes to nature school, plays basketball, among many other things.
My girlfriend home schools her 4 children. I don't see how she does it, but she is very organized. My only problem with her is that her kids make tacky remarks about public school children, especially on an outing where other kids are in a group activity, such as a field trip. I did say to these kids "not everyone can be home schooled or go to private school." I know they get these prejudices directly from her.

I don't know about home schooling in the UK, but it's become very popular in U.S. I know several families who home school. If it's done right, the results can be exceptional. I know some people think that kids who home school can be social morons, but I haven't seen that with the kids I know.
