The majority of people with a chemical imbalance do not become violent and medication does work.
However, society should not be asked to take the chance on someone who has killed due to their illness.
She learned her lesson from Andrea Yates: if you kill your children, do it in a really whacked-out way, and play CrAaAaAzY!!!
Jurors will come out of the woodwork to sympathize.
Yes, but the problem is that the commitment usually is not a permanent one, so if enough doctors claim that they are "no longer a threat" they can be released. Huge loophole.
I agree 100%.
No, actually an MRI revealed that this woman has an inoperable brain tumor which caused the visions and the hallucinations. If I understand the statements that came out earlier this morning, she's not going to be institutionalized for very long as she doesn't have long to live.

...confinement to mental facilities and that they should never be allowed on the streets again.

Agreed
There are many pathetic reasons people use for the evil they do. Execute them all and let God sort them out.
Anybody remember Lawrence Singleton?
He's the lovely piece of humanity who kidnapped a teenage girl, raped her then chopped off both of her arms.
They did find him, try and imprison him. But eventually he was PAROLED!!! They couldn't find a town to take him for his parole and eventually they found a town in Floria where they could banish him. There, I think he stabbed another woman to death and went back to prison. I think he eventually died in prison.
Can you make this stuff up? If you were writing a horror novel, could you creat Dahlmer, Gacy, Bundy, Singleton, Andrea Yates, etc?
Scum is too good a word.
BUT, what's the difference between HER and a baby-dismembering partial birth abortionist? At least SHE is not in it for the money.....!
Read the story. No jury, just the judge. The defense took that course because it was unable to trick the jury the first time around. They must been sure the judge would come through for them.
