She did it in the one state in the union that forces the prosecution to prove that a defendant using the insanity defense is sane.
She knows right from wrong, and how to get away with it.
She does not meet the legal definition of insanity.
I guess the thinking is that any woman who would kill her kids is insane
If she had dragged the kids down to the basement while her husband, the nanny or a relative were at the house I would lean toward the fact that she may not have been able to distinguish right from wrong at the time. The fact that she waited until her husband left the house (at her request/direction) makes it virtually impossible for me to conclude she did not know what she was doing.
The more I read into this case, the more I have to agree with you and others. I can’t believe that she didn’t know what she was doing, and couldn’t stop herself.
