36. I wish her defense the best of luck convincing the jury she wasn't terrorizing the little one.

As this sits now it's too easy to feel she intended to terrify the little girl, if her death was intentional or not. The terror she inflicted in the little girls last moments most definitely were.

I hope they have laws on the books to make sure this level of fatal child abuse assures she never sees the light of day again. Even if they can't make murder stick, she deserves to be in prison for the rest of her demented life.
