Why should she be
allowed freedom, when her children aren't? Yes, I agree, she needs help. But that doesn't change the fact that she should be locked away.
Most prisoner's recieve any and all health care they need, free of charge to them. Why can't they also get psychiatric care while in prison?
I think if you argue that the woman was insane for murdering 2 living beings, then all people who kill should be tried under the assumption that they are in fact insane. But, we don't.
It bothers me that she only showed remorse once she realized that she was up for possible life sentances. Even had she gotten life, she was up for parole after 40 years.
So, she gets to roam free, able to live her life, with no reprocussions in just a few short years? Why? Personally, I say gas the bitch. You kill someone, you die. What she did was purposful, and methodical, even if she wasn't right in the head when she did it. She knew what she was doing, because even now, she claims god told her to. That in and of itself indicates that she was
aware of the actions she was doing, but that she did it simply because she felt a higher being told her to.
This also dips into whether or not she was hearing her own thoughts, and attributing them to God putting them there, or if she was thinking on her own. I'm not a religious person, but I do believe in some things. She was a devoutly religous person, and thought that the God most people attribute to bringing life to this world, would want her to take it from 3 innocent children? I don't buy it, not in the least. Sure, she was insane, but she knew what she was doing.
