Don't think it is possible to compare murder trials in states with and without the death penalty.

It has to be a weight on each juror.

And no, they could not have found her guilty of manslaughter.

I think the baby died exactly as the prosecutors described.

Premeditated and cold blooded.

It was murder 1 or nothing.

Because of the specter of the death penalty, she got nothing.

Justice denied because of the potential for medieval punishment.

YMMV......
