Were there any public comments or even public outcry that she was released after 4.5 years? Apparently they had been trying to get her out within 6-7 months of her commital to the mental hospital- sounds like she and her attorneys really pulled one over on the justice system. If one is truly insane in the legal sense they are NOT completely cured in a couple months! Glad she spent 5 years committed but as far as I’m concerned she should have been there much longer. Sounds more like a situation of rage killing than true insanity. I wonder if anyone on the DA’s team felt that way…

I was not able to find anything else, but I am still looking. I swear I saw a picture of her, but now I can’t find it, which bugs me! So, I will keep trying.

I remember this case and have searched for more info on her. I remember that her husband was having an affair and may have asked for a divorce or she learned of his affair, went home and slaughtered the four children. That is a revenge killing, not mental illness. She got off lightly in my opinion.
