Quote:Unless you have a crystal ball that can predict who is going to murder their children and who isn't, these aren't worthy of consideration. From the information I've read about the case, this probably could have been prevented by far less drastic measures. She visited her pychiatrist just 2 days before the murders, so obviously he didn't see the threat. She had previously been on Haldol and no longer was... although we don't know if that would have made a difference or not. Her husband appears to be a total idiot or he could have prevented it by not leaving her alone with the kids (amongst the many bad choices he made in this case). Perhaps these things don't raise to the level of criminal negligance, but they didn't help the situation any.I agree. These solutions only work in hindsight. Hopefully this case wil not provoke folks to attempt to legislate such Draconian measures.
According to what I have heard on Primetime, her mother-in-law was coming over to be with them in 1 hour. In other words she had a 1 hour window in which to kill her children.
