Let me help you with this. If it was a husband who drowned the children, then claimed insanity, it would have never been taken seriously, it may have even been the death penalty. If it had been a black husband, it would have been first degree murder with a sentence of the death penalty. Same crime, yet different output depending on the perp. Are women the only sex allowed to claim this sort of insanity? However, taking all of this aside - I am glad she got life. She will have the rest of her life to remember how each of her children looked at her as she was drowning them. > > > What do you think would have been the best outcome of the trial? > Give her twenty years to live with herself, then we drown her like a witch! This does not sound so cruel as most death penalty inmates spend about that much time in jail before being executed.
