No basis?

Murderer Denied Release Because of Brain Cancer.

According to her lawyer (bold emphasis mine):
"Obviously, it was too hot of a potato for them to handle," said one of Atkins' attorney, Eric P. Lampel. "Of course we're disappointed. There's no basis for denying this."
O RLY?

These sound like good enough reasons (once again bold emphasis mine):
Atkins told the grand jury that she stabbed Frykowski in the legs and that she held Tate down while Watson stabbed her. She also testified that Tate had pleaded for her life and that of her unborn child, to which Atkins replied, "Woman, I have no mercy for you."
Writing the word "Pig" in the Polanski/Tate house with Tate's blood also isn't exactly worthy of praise.
