Annika Östberg

I was really hoping that Annika had the common sense and decency to say no thanks to Swedish Radio when they offered her a spot on the popular"Sommar" series. I was OK with her being transferred from California's penal system to Sweden after almost 30 years in prison. I felt she had done her time and if she was still a Swedish citizen and wanted to move home, let her. But I am very disappointed that she is accepting a media presence, and what is that telling the victims of her past? What kind of radio is Swedish radio becoming? Maybe it's a shared fault. Swedish Radio just catering to anything that is material for exploitation. I really hope Annika keep a low profile and just stay out of the media and fame from now on. Sweden is welcoming her and helping her at a great cost, why is she willing to scoundrel that? She will loose a lot of goodwill among Swedish people by being so visible. This is exactly why the people of California didn't want her to be transferred to Sweden.
