Absolutely not! Women want equality, so why should 'sex' matter in criminal sentencing? Although, I've yet to see a woman get similar punishment as a male when its 'teacher vs student' sex involved. The females always get off light and the men get hammered. Where's the equality in sentencing. Why should the man get 10 to 20 or more and the women get 1, 3, or 5. She's just as guilty, so sentence her like a man.

Completely agree. I am all for equality, however that means equality on all levels.

SSgt (Join to see) - Yep, equality... That doesn't mean changing things (playing/practice field, training/performance requirements) for them.
I have no problem with a professional female military member/firefighter/police woman/whatever picking me up (all 6'3", 265 lbs) and carrying me out of a burning building or dangerous location. I do not expect to be dragged, by my ankles, down a flight of stairs because of political correctness run amok. If they're able to compete - let them. If they can't cut it - cut them...

She was tried and convicted and the sentence should be carried out, her being a woman should have no bearing on it what so ever.

Nope... It should be based on the crime, not the sex of the person committing it...

No, Sgt Tom Cunnally she was found guilty of first degree capital murder of the father of her children. The fact that she was the birth-mother is irrelevant.

Sgt Tom Cunnally I linked an article, which I believe mentions it is on the SCOTUS desk for a look.

Is there new evidence? If not then, no. Would you say the same thing if the roles were reversed? How unfortunate for the children to loose both parents, I hope they are taken care of.

So, I was a lad in 1957, what's that prove? I made the point because a lot of people are clamoring for the woman's "children" to receive psychological counseling. That's a complete crock of horse poop!!! That are NOT children...ANYMORE!!!

SCPO (Join to see) - Maybe those people are not reading the story to learn more about the case so they can make an informed decision. I'm not one of those people so why are you putting it on me?

You're the one who said it's awful for her children no matter how old they are. I could care less about her ADULT children now. Throw the switch!!!

SCPO (Join to see) Yes and it is and I stand by that. No matter how someone dies it is painful to their loved ones. It doesn't matter whether that person was good or bad during their lives. Just because I believe this does not mean that I in any way support leniency for her.

Sgt Tom Cunnally - She should not be spared solely because of her sex. She was tried, convicted and sentenced to death.
If she is spared because of her sex, you will see a lot more "Bruce Jenners" on Death Row, claiming to suddenly realize that they are women. OK ... That was said "tongue in cheek" and I realize this is no joking matter, however, in this age of men claiming to be women, women claiming to be men, Caucasians claiming to be Black, etc., etc., I would not put it past anybody to try that to save their lives on Death Row.

LTC Bink Romanick - Ah, but it is a deterrent. When its carried out, the convicted murderer isn't going to kill anyone else.
On a more serious note, I believe the statistics show for every execution, eights murdererers are deterred from committing the offense.

LTC Trent Klug true that , but state after state is doing away with it. I support the death penalty by the way.

LTC Bink Romanick - Here in Oregon, our governor, now long since resigned in disgrace, made that call against the wishes of the voters.
I ponder that the states that are doing away with it (again), sell lots of limousines and Subaru's.
