Incredibly sad for all concerned, terrible decisions,fatal outcome resulting in believing one is not fit to keep living (that last is presuming she took her own life).
What a stupid thing to say. Why would anyone get a 'smug satisfaction' from this case. We don't know why or how she died yet. She could have died naturally , committed suicide or have been killed by another inmate.
No smug bring back capital punishment brigade member would have advocated capital punishment for her offence.
Very sad for all involved but capital punishment has nothing to do with it.
Unless I read it wrongly I thought that she was charged with causing serious injury to the boy . She didn't kill him otherwise her sentence would have been a lot more than 16 months.
