Among the most heinous types of acts one hears about. Let the wheels of justice roll.

Kenneth Williams, her court-appointed lawyer, said Newton had a troubled childhood and a sometimes abusive marriage, which he will include in an appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court.

Sometimes abusive? So the rest of the time it was a good marriage? And this justifies killing your children? The article does not say but how old were the children.

Newton shot Adrian Newton, 23; Alton Newton, 7; and 21-month-old Farah Elaine Newton with a .25-caliber pistol she had borrowed from her boyfriend.

It does say how old the two children were.

Alton Newton, 7; and 21-month-old Farah Elaine

she took out $50,000 life insurance policies on her husband, the youngest child and on herself. The older child's life had been insured previously.

Money, money, money.

Newton shot Adrian Newton, 23; Alton Newton, 7; and 21-month-old Farah Elaine Newton with a .25-caliber pistol she had borrowed from her boyfriend.

And, if I did the math correctly, she was 15 when she had the first one, and the husband was 16.

So--I guess Erica Shepard's appeal is ongoing. It must pay to have friends in high places--like the Rev Jackson

How does anyone shoot a baby let alone a 7 year old child?

That guy is so f'ing funny and I've only seen him twice on Comedy Channel ... which I never watch. He's one of the few (so called) comedians that makes me laugh.

21-month old? Man there are no words to express that. I don't know how I missed that when I read it the first time.

I wish the other states would do the same. We've got 4,000+ subhumans languishing on death row, nationally. On our dime.

It's a post-natal abortion. If you can kill 'em before they're born, why not after? It's just a matter of freedom of choice.

Since Newton and her husband were separated at the time, I think using the 'battered wife syndrome' defense will be a dismal failure.
