Lawyer: Bible Led Mom to Sever Baby's Arms Wrong. Insanity drove the mother to do it. She's just using the Bible as an excuse.

Yeah. Somehow I think mental illness was a bigger factor.

Christ was talking about one's personal battle with sin...not the Muslim crap that advocates you blame everyone else and slaughter them for your life challenges...

It's interesting to compare this to a similar Texas case involving Andrea Yates who drowned her children in the bathtub. They're remarkably similar, but there's something about this one that makes me think an insanity defense is more likely to succeed.
I'll give it some more thought.

"Social workers said she exhibited symptoms of psychosis but improved with medication and psychiatric help, and the agency closed the investigation in August."
In other words, they cut her loose to swing in the breeze, and her child paid for it. The Child Services 'social workers' should be held responsible for not following up.

Amazing how these evil murderers start getting "well" once they get an attorney who says they were sick while committing their heinous acts.

I am in favor of capital punishment for cases like this. I do not accept insanity as a defense for anything.

Oh come on. "The Yearling" caused me to stuff a turnip in my eye! My Big Fat Greek Wedding forced me to take out a McDonald's. Burn the tape! Sheesh. She's INSANE. It could have been a Dr. Seuss book.

a Bible passage in which Jesus refers to cutting off body parts to cast away sinThe baby's arms offended her? Maybe she shudda cut off her own arms first? Either she's mentally ill or evil. Jeffrey Dahmer did no less to other humans and it was decided he was just evil.
I don't remember the last time I heard "the Bible made me do it" defense.

This would have been a Hate Crime if she said that the Koran made her do it.
But it's only the bible, one of the last remaining whipping boys for the left.

Amazing. As it says in the article, the quote is: "If thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee"
The ding-a-ling was supposed to cut off her OWN arm, not the baby's. She's not only crazy, she's stupid!

I heard on the news a short time ago that Andrea Yates who drowned her five children in TX, filed today for a new trial. Seems she is better already.

A plain reading of the text indicates that it is better for YOU to mutilate YOURSELF of your own accord than to be cast into hell, indicating the severity of eternal hell compared to temporal suffering.
There is a deeper meaning here, since sin originates in the heart, which cannot be cut out.
Nonetheless, the passage indicates nothing about doing so to someone else. Weak - very weak.

Is this the woman's defense or the lawyer's defense? I think most likely it is the lawyer's defense. I don't really think this has anything to do with the Bible. I think the correct question would be: what does the lawyer think he is doing?

My question is, if that scripture led her to do it, why didn't she cut off her own arm. The baby was innocent...
