Quote:I agree with you, Ashock. It's deplorable what is going to happen. I mean she gets to sit in a hospital room watching tv and getting blood tests for a few years. Horrible treatment. </sarcasm> I think she should be locked away for life. They have to decide if she's a menace to society? Give me a break, she MURDERED 5 CHILDREN :angry:. How is murder no longer mean you're a menace? I guess kids don't count as people in the justice system between the ages of conception and 18, unless you kill a pregnant woman, then it counts as double homicide. I don't understand it. :wacko:
I guess the real punishment in this case is the hospital food. <_<
If this woman is insane (which she is, as determined by a jury of her peers), then it would be wrong to execute her, because she (the "real" she) didn't know what she was doing and/or had little to no control over herself. Life imprisonment in a standard prison would similarly go wrong; it's ridiculous to think that someone as legitimately insane as this woman would survive long in prison.
If and when she is treated successfully she will have to deal with the fact that she murdered her five children for the rest of her life; that's not punishment enough?
Besides, I would have to say she's not really a menace to society.
After all, what's the recidivism rate for murdering your five children?
