I give up, folks... I really do. Texas juries have twice ruled that women can kill their children and get off with this lame insanity defense. If a father claimed God told him to kill his kids, and he crushed their skulls with large rocks, people would be screaming to bring back the electric chair to charbroil his ass.

The prevailing attitude that a mother just wouldn't do something like this unless she were crazy is the sad reality of 21st century America. And what disgusts more than the verdict is that the laws dictate she be committed until she is "well." Now, she won't be out in 6 months but probably within 6 years, after serving that time in a clean hospital, doped up on thorazine half the time, the other half being a paid consultant for the made-for-Lifetime-TV-movie.
