No whining, no crying, no excuse is going to make up for that. I would have had more compassion on her if at any time she had faced that reality herself and freely admnitted to it and left off all of the Bravo Sierra about her victimhood and how bad she has it. She finally said those words a little at the sentencing...and it is for God to decide if she was sincere...as a society the State of Texas had to gauge her actions against the reality of the finality to Mr. Briggs and his family. Well, now, thanks to those twelve jurors, that awful reality is staring her square in the face, as it should.
She got exactly what she deserved, and could have stood a larger dose IMHO.
