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

I looked at your pic and you are a very pretty ladyinred. However I don't think you understand too much about mental illness. My mother was chronic paranoid-schizophrenic since I was 12 years old. The Bible and her hatred of my father and sex was the most salient symptom of her illness. As I majored in psychology I was priveliged to tour our state mental hospital many years ago. Many of the patients there had symptoms that vested in religion and the Bible. This is not unusual and the twisted association is very real. My mother died two years ago from colon cancer in the nursing home where she was given Haldol to treat her schizophrenia. Only then for the first time since I was a child did my mother tell me she loved me.
This poor woman was obviously insane and it's too bad she never got help before she murdered her child. You have to understand that these people see and hear voices and sometimes they really think God is giving them instructions to do horrible acts. The attorney had nothing to do with her present state of clarity.
My brother and I took legal custody of my mother after Daddy had a stroke. Her guardian ad litem called me and said he had talked to my mother and she seemed fine and capable to him. He suggested a psychological exam and I said please do. When we went before the magistrate the lawyer told the judge he would not oppose the guardian request. Seven pages from the doctor made him understand the depth of Mama's illness.
But you see, as much of a pain as it was Mama always had us to look after her.
