I'm surprised. I thought the Texas jury would hand down a death sentence.

In Texas, the jury would have to find that she constitutes a future danger to others around her. She wouldn't be a danger unless she had more kids and with 40 years definite and no conjugal visits allowed, that's highly unlikely. The jury's verdict was predictable, given the Texas requirements for the death penalty.

It's still special treatment to a WOMAN. A man would have received the death penalty in such a situation. Texans just can't implement "equal justice under law." Texans are partial to certain lawbreakers at the expense of others. Logically, one could argue that no one should be executed if this quintuple murder did not warrant execution. Why does she get a pass when no mercy was extended to Karla F. Tucker a few years back? It could be that jurors were "abortion rights" advocates and saw this as the LATEST TERM ABORTIONS ever. I am unimpressed with Texas "justice." Texas justice lacks consistency.
