I've been thinking a lot about this case, and I'm conflicted. I know what she did was wrong and horrible, there's no question about that, but I'm having a hard time agreeing that she should rot, etc.
One of my neighbors a few years ago had her last child, and afterwards many things changed. She ended up becoming anorexic, to the point where she couldn't really walk without her legs shaking. I remember one time walking into her living room where she was shaking, and seeing her oldest daughter (about 5) crying because she was so scared for her mother. This made her mother cry.
If her husband hadn't have been there, and if I hadn't have been there to babysit when she needed a break, I don't know what would have happened to those kids. I don't think she would harm them, but then again, I never thought she would have harmed herself and, indirectly, her children, either.
Basically, I'm not prepared to say she should die or be excessively punished right now. Obviously she deserves a good, harsh punishment, but death? If it was premeditated and she was in the right frame of mind, which it seems she was, then yes, she deserves it. But if not, I don't know...this is such a conflicting case to me.
