Cut it out, Laz. I’m considering the case as a whole, in all of its aspects. You seem to have the simplistic approach of insisting that just one aspect makes this a simple ‘cut and dried’ case; and it’s simply not.
I’m concentrating on one particular point because it changes simple manslaughter to premeditated murder. I’m not considering the mental illness defense; that can come later. That may or may not change how the case should be prosecuted. We can discuss that later.
I just want to understand this one point: Are you at all troubled that she put research into how to kill her children?
