<< A truly horrific killing, but how do you sentence someone to 5 years when you suspect it was an accident? >>
Well that's just it, if it was an accident over which she had no control then why is she serving any prison time at all? OTOH, if it was a malicious act then 5 years is too lenient.
I would have to wonder though, after she had the baby and could have resumed taking her medication, why didn't she?
<< Otte had stopped taking medication when she became pregnant, and Martinez told authorities that she had more than 50 seizures before and after the birth, including one time when she dropped the baby. >>
Hello?! Time to take the meds!
