Brenda Spencer

Brenda Spencer was a 16 year old girl born April 3, 1962. Spencer did a shooting spree from her home on January 29, 1979 in which she injured 9 people and killed two. She killed one person who was trying to protect the kids and when another person went to help him she killed him too. The school that she was shooting at was Cleveland Elementary School. Her reason for the shooting "I don't like Mondays" when the officials asked her. She was tried as an adult she was sentenced 25 years and she would not be eligible for parole until 2019. In 1993, she claimed she was under the influence of PCP and alcohol and claimed the prosecutor on the case and her lawyer conspired to hide the test results. Her lawyer and the prosecutor denied such allegations. Later in 2001 she claimed that she came from an abused home but the Parole Board Chairman doubt her allegations because she didn't mention or discussed that with any of the counselors.
