I dont see how the misuse of the words "there and their" have any relevence to this.he simply stated his opinion and our english skills are irrelevant aslong as we state our opinion and it makes sense.
Also i dont see how violently shaking a baby who is crying is manslaughter.Any person of average intelligence knows not to shake a baby as it can lead to death.Ok lets assume it was an accident we let her go and she goes insane again and kills someone else or a number of people then what????
I agree in theory with the death sentence only thing that I dont agree with is that innocent people get sentenced to death.the courts dont always make the right decision.

if you murder someone, the day your found guilty is the day you die. no drugs either. a simple 5 cent bullet to the brain or heart will suffice.
A 5 cent bullet ? Where do you buy your ammo ? I pay around $.24 for my 7.62 x 39 I pay around $.28 for my 7.92 x 54 ammo and I pay around $.23 for my 9 mm ammo. Please tell me where I can get the 5 cent ammo, that would sure make a day at the range cheaper. Thanks.

I'm sorry I just can't take much stock in the opinion of someone who can't distinguish between a noun and a pronoun. This may or may not be relevant to some but to me it very much is.
Now onto your other....opinions...
First we still don't know enough about the situation. She could have been under stress, still experiencing ppd, have had a history of mental health issues, etc. "Any person of average intelligence" would probably know not to shake a child, but what if that person were involved in circumstances beyond their control? I've mentioned this half a dozen times already but everyone ignores it simply because it goes against their own thoughts on the topic. I don't feel it's worth saying more because at this point trying to get you people to think logically is moot at best. You go on to imply that because she shook a child she could go on a mass killing spree. Are you high? She admitted that she did it and from what I can tell didn't try and cover it up, this is either a sign of remorse or she's just mental. Once more without knowing more about her it's impossible to say. It is a little odd that she shook him twice, but who knows if that's really how it happened. I'd imagine the shock of killing a child, let alone your own child is overwhelming. She may have shook him then smoked a cigarette and lost her mind. Events could be all mixed up in her head or even filled in due to gaps in her recollection. You need to understand I'm not saying they should let her go, she needs to be taught a lesson and she need some serious psychological help before anyone could even consider letting her go back out into the world. But simply saying she deserves to die for what could have been a tragic mistake that she had no intent of ever occurring is the stupidest thing anyone could ever utter.

How was it a mistake? She said she shook the baby when it started crying then smoked a cig and shook the baby again. How the hell can you consider that a mistake? Now correct me if I'm wrong but people usually take a minute or two for a smoke so if she was having a temporary lapse in sanity the cig should have calmed her down if she hadn't had one in a longer period of normal. Going back to finish the job seems to me she knew perfectly damn well what she was doing.

@hikaricor the point i was trying to make about english is you obviously have a better understanding of english than some of us.Waste of time arguing aout it.this isnt an english classroom so its useless pointing out minor english mistakes.
the point i was trying to make in regards to the women is if she can't manage to look after a baby without losing her temper and violent shaking it (whens it already upset)not once but twice how can she deal with everyday people that are a lot more annoying than a 3month old baby.
the amount of times ive seen someone do something stupid or dangerous on the roads ive felt like hitting or raming them is counting.the amount of times ive felt like hitting someone (for reasons) is countless but i have a lot more patience when it comes to children and animals than i do for adults.
AS for smoking I can smoke a cigarettes in about 2-3minutes if i havnt had 1 for a while normally takes about 4-5minutes for 1.

Yeah and that's the ironic twist to this: She WASN'T playing a violent game just a casual game, so this tells me that their was a few marbles loose in her head even before she started playing the damn game. Even though we may not fully know why she did it, the point is that she shook her baby not once but twice. The girl should have used common sense and should've thought what she was doing to her child. It's people like this who don't need to be having kids in the first place, IMHO.
Maybe she should have played a violent video game instead; better to kill a hoard of virtual zombies than your child.

Actually, it is closer to a 1 year sentence in a minimum security resort that is cut to 6-9 months for "good behavior"...and that is assuming that you get caught and then hire a terrible lawyer.

This is not about cruelty...cruelty is what you inflict on others with the hope of causing more pain and suffering. This is just a murderous ***** who killed her own child, and then got a soft sentence because the judge felt sorry for her...you know, because she just lost her child and all. If she had gone next door and killed one of the kids there, she would be en route to death row right now.
...And for all those people who say, "maybe it was an accident" or "maybe it was rape"...Abortion and adoption are both legal! Abortion has a time limit, adoption does not. She made the choice to have the child, then she made the choice to keep the child. Then she (may have) snapped and shook the child...then she made the choice to smoke a cigarette, and while she smoked it, she made the choice to murder the child. If she wanted to be free of the child, she could have put it up for adoption at any time; even in the middle of the night. Heck, she could have just left the kid at an emergency room like the crack whores do.

Yes, while this is true most securities fraud cases carry a sentence of more than twenty-five years. Most of the time this crime is committed it is on a grand scale i.e. ponzi schemes, insider trading, accounting fraud, and corporate fraud. That is the The reason I made that statement based the track record of that particular crime.

Man she looks pissed in that picture....not sure I'd mess with her either.
I have a 2-year old, and I will be perfectly honest in saying that it wasn't always the best of times. Long nights, constant crying (she had colic) and lack of sleep all wear down even the most patient of people. I am not defending what she did but I've been there. I got so frustrated I had to walk outside and scream. The stress involved is certainly not for everyone and she obviously was overtaken by it.
If you don't have kids you'll never understand what parents go through.
Oh and to the WW3, you should get your nose out of the bible and live a little.

w/e, I know I have a solid foundation, and I know right from wrong. That should be enough and you don't need to question it, my faith or my morality.

Well perhaps not everyone chooses to live such an immaculate lifestyle like you've chosen. There are plenty here, I'm sure, that enjoy the vices you speak out against. While you're entitled to your opinion when you try to enforce it on others folks you come off as a bible thumper and that crap is annoying. Why don't you and Tim Tebow go read passages together and leave the rest of us sinners alone.

I am in no way a bible thumper, just because I try to stay on a moral path, does not mean that that's all i ever do. It's just a part of my personality, both online and off, and if you don't like that I am sorry, that's just how I am. In fact, i haven't posted at all since i replied to toked, and that was a joke post.

There once was a Lass,
That loved to play a game of Farmville,
Until one fateful day,
a baby cried its last,
she took it an shook it,
With great ferocity,
i'm still working on the rest of the lyrics.
