Oh, I’m sure she employed dramatics in this trial. But I’m not convinced that seeing these photos did not horrify her. Think about it.
In her mind, she probably pushed reality as far from her thinking as she could.
But when your baby’s skull, her socketless eyes, are staring at you from a big screen, and the duct tape that you remember putting on her mouth is holding up her rotten jaw along with her decomposing hair...
You CAN’T say that you know that wasn’t a horrifying sight, even to a coldblooded murderer.
Now can you?
“In her mind, she probably pushed reality as far from her thinking as she could”.
Very possibly. She may have just removed this child entirely from her mind. If that is the case, then her LOOKING at this little skull with vines running through it is a justice in a sense as well. Sometimes a picture is worth a 1,000 words!
