This Is America Gone About As Awry As It Can
We have a monster, who is undoubtedly crazy (Don't you have to be to be this monstrous?) out of jail, and potentially on the streets, because of legal manuvering that makes Johnnie Cochran look amatuerish. And don't tell me she's not a danger to anyone else, any mother that would kill her own children is capable of anything at anytime.
This is just wrong, there ought to be a better way. Our legal system just is not equipped to deal with human frailty or depravity that runs this deep. I don't know what saddens me more, that our system can't handle it, or that it needs to.
