This is sad news. My prayers are with her family.

I have a three year daughter and it I personally have a hard time with this. First, I have a hard time believing how a mother could do this to a daughter. Assuming that the prosecution could convict her beyond a shadow of a doubt (which it looks as if they could) should she be a candidate for the death penalty?

I personally think the death penalty should be used sparingly, as the Church teaches, but would this be one of those cases where it should be used?

No, it should only be used when no other punishment can protect society. I don’t think this “mom” would endanger anyone if she were in prison until after her child bearing years are past.

This appears to be nothing more than a “late term” abortion, what a horrible thing to do to a child for the sake of convenience.

I agree–I don’t think Casey is a threat to society (unlike serial rapists, serial killers, serial molesters, etc.–people who attack and stalk random people) and if she killed her child I honestly think that her spending the rest of her young life behind bars will be very, very hard on her and be sufficient justice.
 
This mother got to hold her child and (allegedly) killed/murdered her child. I don’t understand this. This is so tragic. May she rest in peace :crossrc:
