Do we try and 'reform' her then and release her when she is 'rehabilitaed'?

I'm not completely arguing for the death penalty either.

I think you'd be surprised at the reactions in and around the Houston area. There seems to be more of a desire to learn how something like this could happen rather than a need for vengence. It's quite obvious she's been ill for some time.

My coworker mentioned today the reason why he doesn't want kids is because he's afraid of his wife killing them

You have just arrived home from a hard day at the office and your wife is screaming b/c you are late for a dinner engagement, the sitter is late, the kids need to be bathed and fed, the dogs need to be fed and the trash needs to be taken out. You're stressed and it's getting chaotic. You DON'T beat your wife to a pulp, drown your kids, slit your dogs' throats and you don't throw garbage all over the house! Sure, she may have had post partum depression and sure, she may have been having a really bad day but c'mon!! Timothy McVeigh kills 168 ppl and you think he was SANE!?!? What's the difference? She chased her 7 year old son around the house so she could KILL HIM!!! This wasn't in a fit of rage and this wasn't done swiftly. If she was truly depressed, why didn't she take her own life? 5 CHILDREN are dead because of her DIRECT involvement and no one, NO ONE, is denying she did it. If you think she can be rehabilitated, you pay for it. I know that sounds cold but I

Hey Lips2000,
If your wife or g/f was raped and became pregnant, would you keep it? I hope the question doesnt offend, I noticed that you had such a strong opinion, I thought it would be interesting to hear your comment on this one.

My thoughts exactly!!! If I saw my wife spiraling into a depressive state, I would not have left her alone with my kids. If the doctor(s) said she was able to give care then they were wrong. That sux but they are only human and hopefully did the best they could in treating her. Ultimately, SHE is responsible for her actions. You can
