    That said, you could argue anyone that commits a violent crime is "insane." I always kind of fear the slippery slope. I think she's guilty of five murders.

    If somebody breaks into you house and is about to harm you or your family and you "flip out" and kill the guy, I don't think you are "insane". It is called human behaviour. Now if I line my five children up in order of their age and start to systematically drown them in my bathtub, well you may have a slight mental problem. One that should be passed by and overlooked for a charge of at least three murders of the five. Give her two free deaths for being suposedly off her axis.

    Kind of like locking you kids in your car and pushing it into a lake. Your hard wiring may have come loose and if that is the case. Time for the junkyard. Not giving them mind altering drugs to put them on the dark side of the moon permanently and then maybe letting them back into a normal society.

    Anyone notice how the prosecutor only charged her with 3 of the murders? It will be interesting to see if he pursues the other 2 in another trial. And what would happen if the second jury finds her guilty for those 2?

    I read a quote today from her husband after the verdict yesterday when he waid something about how it took them so long to find out what he already knew, that she was psychotic :eek: so why the fuck didn't he do anything? Why did NOBODY do anything to help her?

    If he really believes that, then he should be held responsible too... if he knew that she was psychotic, then why did he leave her alone with their kids?

    Interesting... maybe he is hoping for a guilty verdict in another venue of something?

    After killing five of her own children...will you suggest she can become a "productive" member of our society and again walk amongst us??? What happens when she wants to have another child??? Do her and I a favor and put her out o her misery!
