you know what i couldn't get past was the fact that this woman tried to kill herself 3 times. 3 TIMES!!!!! now if somebody really wants to off herself would they really fail on three attempts? this screamed to me of "pay attention to me" rather than "i want to die".
this is a lady who had some knowledge of medicines and bodily functions. when she cut her femoral artery didn't she also know that the blood would eventually clot?
i realize this lady has severe emotional problems but the fact that her own family didn't even speak on her behalf tells me they'd had it with her a long time ago.
i think she'll get what she deserves. the judge has no discretion in this penalty i gather. it's LWOP. period. good enuf for me.
bon
I can't figure out the family - particularly the husband. If he didn't pay attention and get her serious help; but then he drove a couple of hours every single day to visit her in jail - till LE put a stop to that. (I'm not clear if he didn't see her after that or if it was just not as often) Does anyone else find that strange?

Very pleased with this verdict. For all the people that tried to drum up sympathy for her on the shows.... when her sucide attempt failed, she kept up the lie about the big bad stranger. This was shortly after she murdered her one child and tried to kill the other,and realized her attempts wouldn't work.
Sorry, she knew right from wrong. The other cases they tried to use... don't hold water. Andrea Yates tried again and again to seek help. Yet when presented with the chance to do the same, Michelle chose to lie... again and again. She would have kept up her lies in the hospital if her older son hadn't survived. She knew right from wrong and deserves the sentence she got.

one of the In Session hosts (Jamie maybe, or Beth) had explained that because hubby was a potential witness and a crime victim that his visits had to stop til after the verdict. he sure didn't look all that upset after the verdict that's for sure.
what really saddens me (and this brings the Yates case to mind) is that this woman was having serious mental problems even long before she gave birth. what was she thinking? what was her husband thinking? she's emotionally unstable in the extreme and she brings two more souls into the world.
frankly i think both she and hubby needed their heads examined.
