A caller to a talk show I listened to (consider the source ) put a particularlly sinister twist to the story that I have not heard mentioned elsewhere:

He pointed out that the company who matched the girl up with the family paid the defense bills ( this is true ). He claimed that Scheck probably insisted that the jury not consider manslaughter because if the jury aquited, or found her guilty of 1st murder, then the company was off the hook for a civil suit. But if they found her guilty of manslaughter they would surely be hit with a giant civil suit. This guy
( who claimed to be a lawer ) said Scheck was acting in the best interest of his client ( the ou pair company ) and not the girl.

I'm not a lawyer so I don't know how valid these points are.

that

Are you saying the girl intended to kill the infant...that she set out to do that?

I do think she should get manslaughter, BUT she should still do hard time to think about her actions.
Time served is ridiculous.

You'd go to jail longer for writing a bad check!

(That's what the childs mother said when she heard about the judges reversal.)
