I'm hardly forgiving of her crimes, but she is clearly a nutjob on many levels --- medically crazy long before this and also had a weird preacher all but controlling the family (the guy dressed up like the devil as part of his act; nutty and probably crooked).

Note, I am NOT condoning or forgiving her actions or saying she needs to be free - ever.

Just stating there is at least a grain of truth in the defense.

So would you want a confessed, although obviously nutty, murderer to be freed on bail living next door to you? The judge is the one who is insane here.

She's going from jail to a secure mental hospital.

She's not being let out.

Come on! Do you actually expect the Old Media to get anything right?

If you read the article, you will see that the judge granted bail only on condition that she be kept in a mental hospital. She is not "living next door" to you.
