I think the DA in the Smith case is looking for a direct political payoff by
seeking the death penalty.  Myself, I can't figure out what a death penalty
would do in either of the cases.

I've read a lot of stuff, pro & con, about cameras in the court rooms.  They
won't make a definitive stand yet.  Just waiting and letting some of the ones
who let them in, to see what overall effect they'll have on the justice
system over time.

Could a woman be insane and still have the presence of mind to concoct the
story she did about being carjacked?  Then again, could a woman be sane and
kill her children?  I guess that's what the trial will decide....
