I've followed this case for nearly 2 years. At the time the story first broke, I wasn't a mother but my heart ached for the poor child that was taken, and I mean TAKEN far too soon. Now that I am a mother this case took an extraordinary toll on my endeavor to live peacefully and with joy.
But, I managed to do just that in a seemingly no-joy situation. I know that she will face the ultimate sentencing when she meets her Maker. I fully believe that there is no earthly punishment that can begin to measure up to what the Lord has in store for her. If I were to think of the most horrid, painful, vindictive and brutal of punishments, I wholeheartedly believe that it would be nothing more than a speck in comparison to what God's plan is for this. I find GREAT joy and comfort in that.
Don't quote me on this, but I don't believe that acquittals by Man's laws mean much at the pearly gates. Much joy found in that...
Agreed. Just glad I did not have to sit on that jury and find her "innocent"...
ReplyDeleteAt least if I had been on the jury it would have ended up as a "hung jury" and it would have had to be retried. Yeah, I know... more expense, more time and more ya-ya. And maybe the outcome would have been the same. BUT, in the meantime, she'd be sitting in a jail cell, WONDERING and WORRYING what the outcome would be. I would have wanted it to be Life With No Parole, too. I used to be all for the death sentence but now I think that's getting off too easy! The younger the perp, the sweeter Life With No Parole becomes!
