Wife and I talked this over this afternoon over a few beverages. Number one, we both agree the law in Mass. is messed up, much like Jawbone has pointed out numerous times. Prosecution had a hard row to hoe in making their case. Thankfully there was one juror that wouldn’t allow this to just go away. She deserves punishment and never deserves to breathe free air again. We both agreed on that. The fact that the medical community seemed to just want to prescribe all sorts of pills and hope the problem went away is disturbing but I am glad that has come to light because of this trial. The fact the defense was able to call out a male juror as being the holdout seems like it was out of line. I still think the father was criminally negligent but that one might be hard to prove.
No matter your feelings on this one, it’s messed up worse than a box of bream hooks. The prosecution needs to run it back as soon as possible and find something concrete to stick her with. She killed her kids. She doesn’t deserve to be free again.
