As I have stated before, I'm not trying to justify or make excuses for her. I believe she did an evil deed...beyond comprehension...but was not an evil person. I don't think it's ever been said that she was ever a threat to society...only to herself and her kids.

I believe it has been written that she thought she was an evil person and a bad mother and expected to be punished.

IMO, living with what she did is worse than any punishment that could be handed down in a court room.

She met the TX legal definition for mentally insane.

What if it wasn’t just postpartum related? Her father was mentally ill so if she gets out and is not compliant with her meds do we really want to trust her to be out in society again?

I for one don’t trust the shrinks at the Rusk state hospital to have a real clue after they released a paranoid schizophrenic murderer when he stabilized on meds. Guess what happened a few months later? The nutjob murdered a five year old boy.
