Believe it or not, I think the incidence of women harming their children is actually higher than the father. I honestly haven't the foggiest clue what the motive was, but the fact that she confessed leads me to believe that she felt that she was in her right to do so.
Still, I feel sick looking at the photo of the family. This is sad.
If she was a LEO it might work but not without.
I'm voting "Went Nuts."
Actually I was in protective services for seven years. It could be underreported, but then we wouldn't know.
Reported cases most often involve a boyfriend or stepparent.
Seeing I have had PPD and I wanted to kill my DH a few times myself I'd say that was the cause. She was depressed and he was driving her nuts. There was a gun in the house and when they were arguing she went and got it and out of anger shot and killed him. However, she is being charged with 1st degree murder and 1st degree mean she planned it, it wasn't something she just did out of the blue.
So maybe insurance money and she was falling in love with some guy she met on the internet but knew she could never just leave her husband.
WHO KNOWS!
Bush's fault
Yes! Thanks for the reminder.
Just read the latest update and that's the impression I'm getting. They say in the article it's not infidelity...but they know the motive. And they won't answer questions as to whether it was abuse.

A very bad man deserving of being shot in the back..errr execution for his crimes.
LEO as in astrological sign?
Women, by a wide margin, murder family members or intimates at a rate much higher than men.

Source and stats to back this up.
"What makes me think that she is going to claim abuse by her husband!"
Or, could he have done something to his children. Time will tell.
He looks controlling & she looks browbeaten. Just looking at the photo.
Exactly, and look at the faces of the older girls.
I have looked at them several times and I see the same thing every time.
She does not look like a murderer.
It's the way he has his hand on the oldest girl's shoulder and how he's leaning into the whole group. The girl looks like she doesn't like it very much. The middle girl looks stressed, but maybe she doesn't like having her picture taken.
(then again maybe I'm looking for trouble)
Minister Wives Gone Wild?
I know, not funny.
That depends... PRIME minister wives gone wild... now that's funny... just ask Tony Blair!
Presbyterian Ministers' Syndrome?
>> Not to mention the Spring Break Pastor's Wives Gone Wild DVD. Sure to be a hit on late night "paid programming" channels <<
Not sure I'd pay to see ORANGE Jello and CATFISH casserole. "Gone Wild" is a relative term, you understand.
Excuse me... I-37... I won! I won!
>> "Sexual abuse of natural children by their father is rather unusual. Generally it's a stepfather." <<
I'm Catholic. Around these parts, sexual abuse by a Father... Aw, no nevermind... I better not.
I'm afraid I find some of those statistics hard to believe. I know many sexually abused women, and most of them were abused my natural fathers living at home. You wouldn't believe how many. I think something about my personality draws them to me, like I'm "safe" or something.
I'm not saying that I necessarily know a representative sample; I certainly wouldn't say most women who are abused are abused by natural fathers, even though that's what my anecdotal evidence suggests. But I simply know waaaaay to many abused by natural fathers to believe that there are 40 TIMES more who are abused by step-fathers.
On the other hand, NOT ONE of the women I know had a mother who became aware of it and intervened. So I wonder if what really is true is that biological fathers' closer ties to the rest ofthe families keeps such things in the dark.
