I'm surprised. You don't think they will show her any leniency due to the extreme emotional duress? I'm not saying that she deserves that much sympathy, but isn't it even a possibility? Maybe not, I'm just curious. You think she will get that much time? I’m surprised. You don’t think they will show her any leniency due to the extreme emotional duress?

Even if she is found not guilty by reason of mental defect or whatever, the sentence will still be in the neighborhood of 50 to life in a secure mental facility. Whether it is a mental facility or prision, the 50 to life aspect is the important part. I also suspect it may well have been a home birth. My guess is that there will be an insanity defense.
