She might die a more HORRIBLE death than we could ever imagine right there in prison.
If there's any justice.
Looks pretty relieved, doesn't she?

She looks crazy to me. And, I hate it when obviously mentally ill women get treated like criminals. But it takes a lot understanding to get past the details of her crime.
First, when she was drowning them, each child struggled, vomited, defecated and urinated. She never changed the water from child to child and left the last one in the dirty water. (Even serial killers who know their victims show more respect for the body.)
Her remark about killing the children "being a bad choice."
Her husband had his mother come around mid-morning to stay the day and to keep an eye on her while she was taking care of the kids. So she planned the murders to take place between the time he left for work and the time mom-in-law arrived.
I think she had to chase the last one around the house.
Does any of this make her less insane? No. I do not for a minute think that she rationally thought that killing her children was going to make her life better.
It's just hard to get past what she did. I think that's the reason the mentally ill don't get compassion. It's just too hard to get past what they do.
