Yeah I know, everybody wants these types of discussions to die out, but I think it's a valid question. Somebody pointed out only two women have been executed in Florida, but how many men have been?
I think if she had been a man and she was the father and the same scenario had played out, it would be Scott Peterson all over again and he'd be on death row. But for some reason, people have trouble giving women the death sentence, and that was the big thing for this jury; they didn't want the death penalty, never mind the fact that she'd have about 27 years' worth of appeals, it's not like they just take them out the back of the courthouse and shoot them. But I think if it was a father who had done all this, the jury would've said 'fry him', but because she's a woman, suddenly they get all yellow about the matter. It's like they didn't even want to take a CHANCE on her getting a harsh sentence so they didn't even convict on manslaughter or child endangerment.
