A 27-year-old woman was handed a six-year sentence Friday for suffocating two of her infant boys when they were just weeks old, prompting the father of one of the children to yell out in the courtroom that she'll "always be a baby killer." Comments

why the hell is killing an infant not "as bad" as killing someone older? It should relaly be the other way around - an infant is totally dependant and therefore a lot more vulnerable.
Bleah. I agree with the father. It's not enough.
I agree Lily, but the really sad thing is if it was the father who killed his children he would probably never see the light of day ever again. This woman should rot in cells for the rest of her life and really reaffirms my wish that we had the death penalty for crimes like this.
Men don't get Post-partum Depression though, which is a very real condition.
That said - she was aware she killed her first baby, so why didn't she seek help with the 2nd? Why did no-one else notice something wasn't quite right?
Lily, you are far more sympathetic than I am.
