Murder is premeditated or done out of anger. I think the court does need to hear the case and let a judge decide if she has paid for it.
One question is... was she chatting on the phone during the time she thought she dropped her child off at day care?
Bring in the people she knows, is this like her to do things like this? Is she irresponsible?
Was she on medication that would impair her memory?
Was she going through depression, history of anger, abuse etc.?

In most of these cases, there is a change in routine. Most of the impairment involves lack of sleep in these cases.
