Hi Kathy,
As I recall the case, she led her two chidren into the ocean and tried
her best to drown with them, but was not successful and the observance of
her native country's former custom was taken into consideration during
the penalty phase of her trial, thanks to California's sometimes more
progressive way of meting out justice.
I didn't mean to imply that children are bunched up on death row at the
present time, but looking into the future based on what is happening
today we could be headed in that direction. I hope not.
We very much agree that the death penalty should exist, however. As a
prison guard once remarked to me: "Some people are like rattlesnakes and
just as deadly. The only way to remove the danger is to kill them."
I'll buy that!

her trial was,it was shown she had been living in the U.S. and following
our customs and such, and had pretty much given up the customs of her
home country. . .>>>
