<< In a case a prosecutor said would "give nightmares to Stephen King," a
 woman was convicted Friday of killing two children and their pregnant
 mother, then cutting the woman's full-term baby from her womb. 
 
 The boy ripped from the womb survived and is now 2. 
 
 A jury deliberated for about two hours before finding Jacqueline       
 Annette Williams, 31, guilty on all counts. She could get the death    
 penalty.

And as might have been predicted, her defense is that she was a victim of some
kind of childhood abuse.  I'd like to see all child abusers stopped in their
tracks, but I also get a bit tired of the constant use of that as an excuse
for every sort of stuff.  I didn't exactly have an abuse-free childhood, and I
knew many of my classmates whose home life was far worse than mine.  All seem
to have managed to put that behind them and build successful lives.
