I agree with you 100%...I was living in Houston when this all happened and it was heartbreaking to say the least. and Capt Useless (as someone earlier called him) should have been brought up on charges. He was repeatedly told she should have no more children after the 2nd or 3rd. the guy's a pig! He went off to work everyday, took as many TDYs as he could get, and made this woman home school these babies and never gave her any support or took any responsibility!
I don't believe she should ever be released but if she isn't insane, who is? As for the husband, no matter how good or bad he was, he didn't kill his kids. She did. This was a woman with a college education and a career. No one made her have kids and stay home.
