“I do look at Ms. Spayd and she’s not the embodiment of pure evil, she’s not someone who the court can really hold hardness in my heart for — I’ve watched her testify, watched her on video — she’s in many ways a sad person. And I think that may make this crime even worse,” Kindred said. “If it was greed, at least I could understand it, but here time and time again people went to her for comfort, they went to her for guidance, they went to her for medical treatment.
“Somebody has to be the adult in the room and say no, and Ms. Spayd had a hard time saying no,” he said.
