...gone was the $220,000 Tarnower had left her in his will; under state law convicted murderers forfeit any bequests from their victims. Gone also are the comfortable weekends at the house in Westchester County she considered home, gone is the man she loved. The deputy touched Harris' shoulder. She rose slowly, shook off the hand. Softly she said, "I must go now," and left to spend her first night in jail as a convicted killer...

This time, CHUL students (most of whom never got to vote or even express an opinion on the new schedule) shoulder the blame. The effect: Divide and Conquer. Student shuttle drivers vs. students on CHUL; female students requiring the greater security of the new nighttime schedule vs. students attending church on Sunday mornings...
