I think that at this point it's not a question if she should be freed, it's if she can be freed. I honestly don't think she would be safe, unless she moves and changes her name, which is maybe what will happen. It is indeed very sad though, because there is no happy ending in this situation :(Regardless, I applaud you for taking a stand and trying to raise awareness about something that is clearly very important for you, and for everyone. I wish you the best of luck, and I have subscribed to your blog.
You didn't answer my question though. I understand what you're saying completely, I did the first time you said it. But now that it is officially out of the family's hands and into the judicial system's and she CAN be admitted , since she IS now seen as a danger, what should happen? I think it's pretty clear that the law won't send her to jail, so should she be institutionalized for the rest of her life? Or should she be freed after some time in an institution? Or something else? It's a very tough situation, so that's why I wanted to know what your opinion. I also think, well more hope, that something as bizzare as this could not lead to a mass stereotype about the mentally ill. From the comments I read I never saw anyone say anything about the mentally ill in general, just specifically her. If she had, say, killed her man, you would probably not even see if reported in the media and many of these people wishing horrible things upon her wouldn't even say anything. It's only because a baby was killed. I hope to God that people understand that this is a specific event that happened to a specific person and you can in no way say that all mentally ill people are capable of this, or even as one person said, all Mexican women are capable of this. It's just ridiculous to even think so.
I do agree with you in the fact that this woman is seriously ill and that people shouldn't be wishing her to "rot in jail" or to "fry". Also, I do think that having a brother with a mental illness has really made you take this to heart (as I'm sure many people would), and let me tell you that many people wouldn't judge your brother the same way they are judging this woman -- it's not the illness itself that they are judging, it is the terrible act that has been committed. I hope that everyone would know it's not a choice.However, I would like to know your personal opinion on what should happen with this woman, after she is treated, of course. Now that this story has been spread by the American media and instilled fear and hatred into the many, many Americans who cannot think for themselves, this woman cannot walk free. Even if mental illness does prove her innocence, even if she can be cured of her illness, people will refuse to sympathize with her, as we've seen. If she were to be released I wouldn't doubt that one of these mob members would think nothing of taking justice into their own hands.So, in your opinion, what should happen to her?
they look pretty photoshopped though, especially her legs in those jeans?
