[Just mythoughts]

Unfortunately the first prosecution did not stick to the facts of the case, as though those facts were not enough.

I do not have the ability to judge whether she was/is pure evil or if she was/is mental or if she went to the dark-side, does not change the fact that she took the lives of her children.

She has demonstrated that she can and did murder and seems to me she has some innocent souls waiting for her arrival to determine her state of mind.

...the first prosecution did not stick to the facts...

The big failing of the prosecution, and the reason the verdict got thrown out, was using a complete fraud of a psychiatrist who lied on the witness stand. He had made his living testifying for the prosecution. There is now some reason to believe that the prosecutors coached him on the lies he told. Now the taxpayers will be saddled with the additional cost of a new trial and/or whatever other legal maneuvers ensue. The people responsible for this fiasco should be held accountable but that's not likely.
