Why Can Elizabeth Smart’s Captor Be Released Early? | Megyn Kelly TODAY 

Yet drug dealers get life sentences.......

No!! She is just as guilty as him. This is not fair!!

there should be NO release for this "Monster"

Wanda barzee should never see the light of day again she is just as guilty as her husband she participated just as much and she never help that young girl to get away why should she get any sentence less than her husband that's unfair unjust the next daughter she kidnaps could be mine or yours this is an outrage she should be serving life just like her husband☠

This witch deserves to rot in jail!

Her own children tell horrific stories about the abuses suffered by her... I truly don't understand how they can even consider letting this dangerous crazy woman on the loose...

Wanda Barzee should have gotten LIFE, end of discussion. So disappointing

Elizabeth will have to live with this horrific incident for the rest of her LIFE so they should spend LIFE in prison. Why is this even a discussion!!!

15 years is not a long enough sentence to begin with, just fyi there were a lot of mistakes made by Utah in this case they never talk about

Keep her locked Up

Are you kidding me! What is wrong with the Justice system! A lot

I live in Salt lake city & had the very surreal "opportunity" of observing this woman in the flesh. Way back when Elizabeth was first found & they arrested her kidnappers, I just so happened to be a young delinquent(20 yrs old). I was in the Salt lake county Jail for shoplifting. (I long since found may way back to being a productive member of society) They had her in a cell in the pod I was in. She wasn't allowed to come out with us. She came out while we were locked down, but she walked right past my window over and over as she circled the perimeter on her time out. She didn't blink...not once, the entire time I was there. I'll never forget it. I remember her eyes seeming like marbles in a wax figure, set to a never ending forward stare. She was clearly very mentally bankrupt. There seemed to be a deep void behind those eyes. I hope they plan to keep a close watch on her, to make sure nothing concerning materializes in that void. I hope they are better at following through on her mental health once she's free, than they were while she has served her sentence. For everyone's sake.

Another example of our justice system. The perpetrators have more rights than the victims

The kidnappers should be given death penalty

Unthinkable that they would actually do that.

Elizabeth smart’s film on her kidnapping was so sad and made you feel so bad for her! It’s amazing that today she is recovered and can talk about every detail of her horrible experience.

She should never be released..... This is just disgusting!!!!

I admire Elisabeth because she has always shown such grace, even with everything she s been through during and after her kidnapping. I wish her so much happiness.

Psychs cant fix psychopaths. They cant be fixed. They need to remain in places for the criminally insane. She will reoffend. That's who she is.

And she now lives within 5 blocks of a school

THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS! This person is a MONSTER just as much as her husband! She DOES NOT DESERVE freedom, period! She needs to be locked up and never let out again for what she did and didn't do! Horrific!

Elizabeth Smart is my new role model she’s such a strong woman

The woman in pink needs to learn to let the guest speak. She interrupted some important parts.

Why should she be released at all?

How is she not put away for LIFE? She was his accomplice? No justice.

and WE have to pay, with our Fed taxes, to pay for next 5 years 😤 this “woman” needs to be held accountable FOR LIFE! not rewarded by letting her back into society 😤

1. I don’t get how two people that committed the same crime together don’t get the same sentencing. 2. Heard in another video “they miscalculated her release date” are they allowed to do that?

Elizabeth smart should’ve had a say on the release.

It was a miracle that Elizabeth was found🙏♥️.

She’s not going to therapy so she shouldn’t get out.

No!!! Our judicial system needs help!😕

This is the perfect example of how the system fails to protect civilians. By letting out the criminals.

Elizabeth smart should be mad and get a louder and Sue the currents for letting wanda out she looks so creaply

this is disgusting. I think there is no person in the general public who wants this person out.

Barzee was never held accountable for child abuse of her own children that many but not all allege.

The only reason she should be set free is if as soon as David brain mitchell brought Elizabeth to camp, Wanda let Elizabeth go. But instead, she held her for 9 months. She would’ve kept her for the rest of her life if she didn’t get caught

Why is she being released at all?!?!? Shes just as guilty as him!!!

Shame on the justice system!!!

So now does she get to visit her psycho husband?

Why is she breathing!!!!

Elizabeth should have showed up at the parole hearing

This is injustice, she should rot in jail, she's just as guilty

I don't understand how a federal and state sentences can run concurrent when they would be two different sets of charges, trials, and penalty period. They should have been consecutive.

Megyn was high rude the the lawyer who was just trying to explain...wasn’t that hard to follow

How scary

prisons are not equipped to be a mental health facility. Perhaps her sentence should have been 15 yrs in prison followed by 10 yrs in a mental health facility. After all, she was 74 at time of release and would have been 84 if she had gone another 10 yrs.

Currently reading “My Story” by Elizabeth and let me tell you…I was not prepared 💔

Leave it to the legal system to always try and make things more dangerous for law abiding citizens and make it easier for violent criminals to be let out sooner.

It is a shame she was not given a life sentence.

I so miss Megyn Kelly! #todayshow you really messed up letting her go!

8 years... liberalism in law doesnt work. Put her down!

Poor girl. Im sure the only time she felt safe was them locked up. I remember this story, i don't live far from slc It was all heartbreaking

Let me just say that somebody in law enforcement didn't do their job, or was inexperienced in the process of filing the papers. it's amazing the twisting one word can release a person the like that and put them back into society where they can hurt and harm others. Does anybody get that.??? This is insane. It makes no sense at all and possibly never will because victims are not assured that wants to love puts these people behind bars that they are safe for the rest of their life. It's totally ridiculous there is no responsible people in the court system these days. I never see law enforcement griping about these people being let free. It's always the common people who fight for adjust and safe word for our kids that are appalled. Doesn't anybody get tired of complaining about the same things over and over again??? This is one corrupt world.

Saw thumbnail and thought that was Elizabeth Warren

🤬🤬🤬😡 keep her locked up! She was the one who made Elizabeth take her clothes off and get in the robes, she could have let her go when they were in cali but didnt, she had so many chances to let her go!.

Also they let her live right across the street from my daughter's elementary. Which she's not supposed to live within 5 miles if a school

They are both so scary imagine having to see those faces everyday.

Is this a situation of “Follow the money”? Is releasing a dangerous, psychotic woman into the community prematurely going to save somebody $$$?

So this monster gets out but a lot Of innocent people are in jail for most of their lives !? 😔

I just watched the lifetime movie about Elizabeth, she is so strong. This women is just as guilty as the man

I would totally recommend everyone in the comments plz watch the I am Elizabeth smart because it is such I great experience what she went through and how she survived

15 years wasn’t enough

Everyone should know this. If your gonna do time & you spend 6 months in a county or state jail, that time counts once you hit the yard. They should make that clear to everyone, so they can fully be known.

I don’t see how she did not get life

This is heart breaking!! There is no justice anymore, that woman need to stay in prison away from the society. Honestly speaking she is a potential threat, why are they releasing her earlier. This is not fair!!!

lol that dude kidnapper looks like old Jared Letto

Sad!

Id be angry too

i am female, this is just another example that women get lighter sentences and are not held to bear the same as males in the same crime. All women and being female and a mother, those days are gone where a mom deserves consideration for her just being female and a mom. birthing does not make you a mother as elizabeth smart states. it has nothing to do with sentencing but subliminally that is always there and is a component to these lighter sentences. This nut needs to stay in prison, and for everything she refuses to cooperate with evals,ect, add time! thats what they do to the men!!

This is why we need to change the law’s in America!!!

Why can?

This is one of life's greatest mysteries.

Where is she ?

This just proves that society is doomed! Sickening

Because the world is crazy. That's why.

I really don't get why she's being freed. What a joke the system is.

She is not being released EARLY she spent 15 yrs in prison and that's all the law allows, of course I believe she should be held much longer but the law is the law no matter how unfair it is!!😡🙃

Elizabeth petition this and we will fight with you.

Gross, lock her up forever

My boy held on to god and god will deliver out of prison

Where are you Daredevil !? the Justice system has failed again ! we must take this into our own hands!!

There should be no food no water and no comfort at all for captors.

I don't understand why Barzee isn't also serving a life sentence? Because she didnt carry out the actual kidnapping and drag Elizabeth out that night?! Because she wasn't the one doing the raping?! She was contributing to the rapes, trapping, abusing, and was present just as much as her husband!! This is twisted! I can understand Elizabeth's frustration. And to add to the insanity of this, how can someone like this be released back into society?! The whole rehabilitation/second chance argument doesn't stand with me. Elizabeth will never get a "second chance" to "undo" what was done to her, so neither should this monster get a another opportunity to live out within society.

Life she should spend life in jail she let this happen to her and could of freed her she got off on Elizabeth's pain disgusting

I hope parole board’s have heart they would understood If somebody they knew was kidnapped then they can judge

No wonder there's a lot of crime. Lol

NO WAY

Horrible horrible woman

i hope wanda sees all the people hating on her 🤠

Well there is a Higher Judge that they have a Face, on Judgement Day. And I’m sorry to say,He doesn’t offer play bargains

That woman needs help she was probably so manipulated

Wasn't her sentence max 15 years? Is your prisons mental hospitals?

People is 🤣😧 what???

wanda shouldnt be released early because thats stupid

Lal.Chand.surela

Wanda have children that hates her

I live.Jaipur.city.Rajasthan..of India Area.302039.nayakhera.

Megan Twohey. Theres one chick who never needs to worry about being kidnapped. lmao.

My name. Lal.Chand.surela

Well if it was Sweden I don't think she would have been jailed in the first place.... Life in Sweden is a max of 14 years, yes even for child molesters and killers-
