I agree the woman was sick, from that standpoint that her deed was so foul that only a sick person could do it. However, her actions provide a look at someone who could create an alias, give her husband a false story, manipulate the victim into letting her get close, create a false story as to the birth of the child, etc. This murder was contemplated, in full, for a long period of time. It was not the act of passion, or momentary or even long term psychosis. She might be ill, but she should not be protected from full prosecution to the greatest extent possible (and if that means the death penalty, so be it). Andrea Yates was another example completely. She claimed to hear voices, and her husband should be behind bars for what he did to her, and for what he kept from her.

This woman was as cold and calculating as any serial killer that ever lived. Sick, yes. Insane, no way.
