Say what? I actually agree with your post #26 thesis, that women are MORE likely to abuse their kids, maim & murder their kids, & statistically do whatever you name it to their kids, and yet we'll never hear about that distressing little factoid from the good folks at NOW & their flunkie shills at CNN & CBS. So what else is new?? What in heaven's name does that have to do with the fact that the judge in this case ERRED big time by admitting prejudical evidence into this particular trial, pray tell?

I don't know if the judge did as you say or not. I do firmly believe that if this error was made it will (or would have been--I don't know the status of the appeals as of now) caught on appeal.

As I say, I think our system allows great deliberation in cases such as these. NO ONE approaches the death penalty lightly.
