Insanity plea? Both sides will get “experts.” One will say she is sane, but a sociopath. The other will say that she is insane and was not responsible for the crime.
In our super lotto system of justice, she may get away from it by acting detached.
I vote for the she killed her child, probably negligent homicide either by a rage beating or locking the poor lamb in the trunk as punishment ... or while she was out partying.
I think that she wins. She probably killed the child and doesn’t ever want the body discovered since it will reveal a beating or suffocation. And by doing the silence treatment and acting “other worldly,” she will try for the insanity plea and .... be cured!!!!!!!!
Acting insane certainly worked for Andrea Yates.
