I think they must go with the insanity defense, because there is nothing else. What possible defense could there be for such an act? They annoyed me? They were evil? They were CHILDREN. It's the defense's job to come up with whatever they can, however flimsy. It's the prosecution's job to make the case, and it looks like they have plenty to work with. It's the judge and/or jury's job to see through the flimsy defense and discern whether she's a cold-blooded murderer, or insane. All we can hope is that they are not bamboozled. But I think people tend to take a real hard look at the killer of innocents. This is not a bar brawl, where blame might be thrown around. The children couldn't defend themselves, nor would they expect to--it was their mother. And she's in Texas, where the penal system is harsh. I'm with you, Gilly, in hoping she gets what she deserves.
