I'm a bit confused with the person you people are Sainting with the Bleiler I knew. He was a married man with children when he met Michelle and started a relationship that ultimately ruined her life. I personally witnessed a 17 year old Michelle, 7 months pregnant with Bleiler's child, having the crap beat out of her by Bleiler, for not taking a handful of assorted drugs that he ordered her to take.
Bleiler had Michelle convinced that he was Christ. You people have no idea of how horribly he messed her up, all through drugs and mind games.
Michelle was my best friend for years. I keep her in my heart and in my prayers. She needs to be paroled. She should have been paroled with therapy after 7 years. Men don't usually serve the sentances that women have to for the same crimes, they serve less time.
This whole story of "Poor Randy" is nothing but a crock. The man was nothing but a slime bag.

you all need to think about what this had and has done to the family and those it hurt the most, I do not care if she says that she did not do it or not. The point is no matter what she knows who was all there and for why it all went down..........

No, Wisconsin does not have the death penalty. How many people should have gotten the death penalty for crimes they were committed of, and later found innocent for??? I think a lot of you would change your tune if it were your family member we were talking about here, and you believed they were innocent. Was this woman convicted solely on the testimony of the other assailant and not by any direct evidence?

Pretty sure Wisconsin doesn't have the death penalty.

It is probably because Wisconsin doesn't have the death penalty.

I lived by Michelle and Randy Bleiler, they lived in our neighborhood. Michelle was always a little strange, I guess I was kind of afraid of her, she was mean. I remember when this happened, I was only 18, but to this day I remember it well. I never understood why they didn't get the death penalty. They should atleast die in prison. No one knows what Randy could have become or done with his life, it was taken from him and theirs should be too.

Only two people know for sure if she was involved in that crime, but if she wasn't then she has spent the past 24 years paying for a crime she did not commit. 24 years away from her family for a crime she did not commit.
Justmy414 hit it right on the head - a lot of people have spent years locked away for crimes they were later proven NOT to have commited.

Guess what the number 219 means? 219 people convicted and imprisoned for crimes it was later determined, many by DNA, that they absolutely did not do. Imagine for just one minute, this co-defendant was trying to save her own skin at the trial and lied about Mayo's involvment. Now maybe she decides, I should really tell the truth since I can't live with the guilt anymore and begins telling everyone she has contact with, I did it alone and she wasn't involved. I hope that those of you deciding just what should happen realize that you don't really know what happened. After all, the police and district attorney were all just positive that the family of Jon Benet Ramesy killed her for year, after year, after year. Oh, until they discovered they were wrong.

I lived, and my family still does, just down the street from where this happened. They demolished that house, of course. I wish the prosecution had been more definitive. Given the different stories that were told and the botched first trials, I just hope the second time around it really was right.

Randy was a close friend of my older brothers and sisters, I was young then too. I do remember the deep sadness and intense anger felt by so many in our close knit neighborhood.
In my opinion they don't deserve life in prison, they deserve to die the way he did.

I remember the trial and the news coverage. I remember the details your talking about, packerfan, and they both do deserve life sentences.
Freaks.

A life sentence should be a LIFE sentence. I was young when they killed Randy. I still remember going to the funeral. No parent should have to go through what his family went through. And a fourth appeal!?! Enough is enough! There needs to be truth in sentencing!

Those two did more than beat and stab Randy to death. I`m not getting into details, but it was horrific. I hope both women NEVER get out again!

I went to the court house the day they showed pictures. Both of these women deserve to rot in prison. Life should really mean life in this case.
