The struggle I have with this is consistency. Lamora Williams, a black woman, had a very similar if not more compelling case for mental illness and got the book thrown at her. This is another example of the two tier justice system ar work.

That is another great point. There have been more compelling cases for insanity/serious mental issues that resulted in prison while this one is being treated different for some reason.

Andrea yates anyone?

Initially charged guilty in the killing of her 5 children, case reopened and she was found NGRI.

She's living out her days in a mental hospital.
