She had come to the U.S. #five years earlier from Egypt, where she worked as a model and nanny. # #"It was the most gruesome case I saw," Former Costa Mesa Police Sgt. Bob #Phillips told the Los Angeles Times. "She did not seem like a person that #was coherent."
Her latest statement:
"I've reformed in the time in prison. I know now what I did was wrong. I was out of my mind at the time I committed this horrible crime. Now, all I want is to get out and go home to my family, and live a quiet life.
Plus, I haven't had a really good meal since I've been in this horrible place. The food is very bland."
