(9,093 posts)murder her own children and lied about it, but contributed to the endangerment and possible deaths of other children by blaming their deaths on the vaccine.
My recommendation: Lock her up and throw away the fn key.

(5,229 posts)... and I'm not sure, but I think Idaho still has the death penalty. I'm not a DP supporter, but murdering your own children for likes from psychopaths like Kennedy definitely tops the list of justifiable exceptions.

(36,912 posts)They have to have some probable cause to charge her but that is not the same as proving it beyond a reasonable doubt. Unfortunately there could be anti vaxxers on the jury who would not be critical thinkers.

(36,912 posts)But the state still has to prove it. Without a confession it may be difficult.
