If you want to end the death penalty I have no quarrel with that stance and this case shows the fineline that the states must walk because of it. But if you are going to be given every other right that every other law abiding citizen has then the right to die for your crime should be granted as well. If you are sane enough to be greedy, you are sane enough to pay the price.
I have to agree with this......she knows the diff betwwen right and wrong. It's touchy cuz she's been ruled to have diminished capacity....but that doesnt mitigate guilt..
