She's absolutely guilty - that's not in dispute - the issue is whether she's culpable. For all you people who are so quick to judge, I don't think you grasp the complexity of the issue or the precedent it could set for other cases.

This post says absolutley everything I was going to say. Thanks Lurkette
Also, Bermuda, in this case it's a MULTIPLE murder, not a serial murder... A serial murder requires periods of "cooling off" between murders. A multiple murder happens all at once.
And to people who are against her spending the rest of her life in a guarded institution... Why? It's still a prison, but with a hospital focus. Do you honestly think she's a danger to the general public? She's at a low risk to reoffend, her violent patterns surrounded her immediate family, not random strangers from the general population.
