    Rasmea Odeh (OH’-duh) was scheduled to face a second trial in Detroit after winning an appeal of her 2014 conviction. But a member of her legal team, William Goodman, said Thursday she’s agreed to plead guilty on April 25 in exchange for no time in prison.

    Goodman says Odeh is 69 years old, and another trial would be “grinding” for her.

    Odeh insists she didn’t disclose her past because of post-traumatic stress disorder. She was convicted of two bombings in Israel in 1969 but says she was tortured into confessing. Israel released Odeh in a prisoner exchange in 1979.

    Beauty is only skin deep. Ugly like that runs much deeper.

    Her picture should be in the dictionary to illustrate the word “Machshefa” or “Meeskeit.”

    Its amazing that her photo on this site looks like a woman of Evil. Which she is but, if you look at Yahoo, CNN and NBC they show a photo of her in her 20’s looking young and innocent….
