She's got to be found guilty. There's no way she didn't know she was harming those children.

[dfwgator]

She should get the needle.

[PayNoAttentionManBehindCurtain]

Nah, she needs to be drowned.

Did she claim she was just giving them a "tubby?"

Just like a rabid-dog doesn't know what it's doing but gets put down anyway.

She is a raving nutter who should be locked away for a good long time, and given the care, counseling, and chemicals she needs. If she is not insane I do not know who is.

Click2Houston commentator says this jury is probably more lenient and that the 'do you support the death penalty' question was not asked of them. Thus, we probably can expect a 'mental illness' decision.

I'm flipping back and forth from this thread to the Tony Snow thread and for a moment there I was confused as to which thread I was on and thought your comment was about "Helen"

I've been listening to the coverage for the last 15 minutes or so and heard that too.From what I've heard,I think that means that no attempt was made to make the jury "death certified" which,I think,would be required if the state was seeking the death penalty.

My sense is that that's all it means.

[DoughtyOne]

She could get a sledge hammer for all I care. This one knew what she was doing and even called the cops on herself. Mentally ill? That's what society is if it gives this woman any leniency.

[commish]

THe State was barred from seeking the Death Penalty because the original jury sentenced her to Life, and no new evidence was presented in this case. So, there was no need to ask the 'SUPPORT" question since there was no possibility of a Death Penalty sentence.
