NOT GUILTY
(Posted in another thread that was pulled that directed us to this thread which had NO verdict information.)
ugh!
1. I think this woman was and is about as insane as one can get. As long as she never sees the light of a free day again, I'm not all that outraged by this verdict. My only concern is that she may, at some point, see the light of a free day again.
2. Some have said there needs to be a means of finding someone "guilty but insane." I actually agree with that. However, there is no means of doing that under current law in any state that I'm aware of. If this spurs a change, super, I'll be there campaigning for it. But this was the only option for ajudicating her insane, which again I think she is, that the jury had.
3. I see that some folks here understand the fact that her husband doesn't have completely clean hands in the overall situation. From what I've seen of him, I've never thought he was playing with a 52-card deck either. Living with someone for that long, he had to have known that something wasn't right, but he remained on this mission to be fruitful and multiply. From his reaction in the courtroom, I wouldn't be surprised that if this poor wretch ever does get out of the mental ward, he didn't try to plant his seed in her again.
