Don't you think ATTEMPTED MURDER is a bit overboard for the ASTRONAUT?
She has a bebe (sp?) gun? Geez.

Eh... if she had the material to kidnap and hack someone to pieces in her car... yes that is attempted murder! Her being an astronuat is irrelevant.... she could plead insanity, i'd believe that due to the diaper wearing part!

What do you think she should be charged with? Why would you only consider a BB gun when other items were involved?
You have to look at the big picture here.
It isn't normal for physically healthy people to wear diapers so they wont have to stop at a restroom.
It isn't normal to hunt someone down at an airport and squirt them in the face with pepper spray.
This woman also had a knife. Those can be used kill people with. The BB gun was probably a scare prop more than anything else.
She deserves the attempted murder charge. This wasn't just a road trip for fun.

Yes. There should be accountability for ANYONE, celebrities included, if they commit a crime. This is what American FAIR JUSTICE is about. The TV broadcasters can't possibly treat her dream coming true as a fucus for making it lient for her and to hype up compassion. It's like saying people, pursuing dreams and work doubly hard to reach their dreams, stand the risk of psychological breakdown. It's like telling young people to stop dreaming. It's like saying people who worked specially hard and finally achieve their dreams will become unhappy and sink into a breakdown. There are millions of people pursuing dreams, achieve their dreams and have lived lives enjoying their success. Lisa Nowak happens to be not one of them. She faces charges for a crime, no different from so many criminals facing trials. There's nothing unique about her situation. Criminals have criminal minds, especially when they are seen to be planning and plotting to do harm for a long stretch of time (didn't she start stalking the other woman 2 months ago?)
NASA is merely trying to save the faces of those in authority. If, as they say, Lisa Nowak is such a wonderful mother and a wife, and having been married for 19 years, why is her husband divorcing her? They need to convince, first, her husband to take her back before they try to convince the Public to accept her intent to kidnap and murder. If she's been such a 'perfect' family person, surely any loving husband with a wonderful wife, would be the first to come out supporting the wife. She deserves a fair trial, not super preferential treatment. Otherwise our Justice System will appear warped.
There are more than 30 women who were successfully inducted into the Space Program. Never did hear any of them sinking psychologically into the need to kidnap and kill another person. Lisa Nowak probably was chasing after another dream, and her arrogance of already fulfilling one exclusively unique dream, can't possibily stop her getting yet another... the trophy of her romantic fantasy... that astronaut guy! She does sound dangerous!

True, but she did have a steel mallet as well, and a knife. It might be hard to kill with a BB gun, but that was probably going to be used to threaten with. She probably thought the other lady wouldn't know that it was a BB gun. If she wrote something that outlined a plan for her muder or had stated something to that effect in one of her letters, obvioulsy it would fit. We don't have all the facts yet, so i'm not sure. One thing though, don't you think it was weird that she war a diaper for the trip? Didn't she at least have to stop for gas?? That's 900 miles she drove, I know her car doesn't have a range of 900 miles on one tank! I think she just wanted an excuse to wear that diaper. Jeez, what a weirdo!

The only reason Nowak didn't get to attempt murder was that the suspicions of the victim were aroused. That doesn't change Nowak's obvious intentions, which she herself exposed by pursuing the woman even after she ran to her car, and got in and locked the doors.

Considering all of the things she had with her and her obvious crazed state I dont think attempted murder is such a stretch. The way she acted wouldnt have been construed as attempted murder had she not had all of that other stuff with her.

And a mallet and a knife and garbage bags and surgical gloves and mace.
I don't think "talking" is what she had on her mind.
I'm just wondering if adult diaper sales are going to skyrocket among truck drivers and cross-country vacationers.

I would say that murder is a bit of a stretch. Shooting someone with pepper spray does not fall into the attempted murder category. She was probably overcome from the fumes coming from that diaper and it was affecting her thinking. Maybe she can plead temporary insanity.

Yep I don't know how many people have been shot to death by bb guns in the last year.
It must out do all the deaths from all other causes combined.

I agree, it's overboard...
All in all, they should have just jello-wrestled. Then she'd still have her career.
