This is not so much Massachusetts coming to their senses as it is a play to keep her from being executed. I think they know their case in Alabama is open and shut. They'll argue that since she did the crime in Mass first she should do the time in Mass first. Please don't send her back here; take care of business in Alabama.

Good observation. She may be tried in Massachusetts after her Alabama trial. I doubt that the Massachusetts verdict will cancel her date with the needle. Her only hope is to beg for mercy especially with her family’s support. The jury may have pity on her children and decide to spare the needle.
