Forest,

the remarks you are making are pretty snobby.

i mean, obviously the lady went mental, and she killed her kids. however, there are spur of the moment syndromes that can cause this, due to stress, or a ton of other things.

i was watching a 20/20 show about this, and these women were perfectly normal before, and then bam, they just went crazy, and started doing very odd things. there is treatment for these types of diseases, so just "killing" someone instead of giving them life in prison isn't very fair.

sure she commited a crime, went sicoe, and killed her kids, but it takes a mental person to do that! and if your mind isn't all there then...

think if that was your wife, you loved her and lived with her for 20 yrs, and then she suddenly does this and goes insane, would you want your wife to get the death penalty or keep her alive to see what exactly went wrong and try to help her. i personaly would help my wife. it would be a big task getting over the "my wife killed the kids", but i love this person and i would try to help this person. same with the public, we should be helping men and women find these diseases before they take over and go and commit crimes. giving people death by lethal injection is for people who rob stores and shoot up the whole store, or child rapers etc.
