NBCTwenty years ago, Kristine Cushing shot and killed her two daughters in their sleep.
In 1991, Kristine Cushing killed the two daughters she had with John Cushing. After being released from a mental institution, she remarried John — and today they live with John’s two sons by his second wife, Trisha Conlon, who fears for their safety.
Cushing was found not guilty by reason of temporary insanity, but her action 20 years ago has Trish Conlon fearing the safety of her two teenage sons today. Conlon is the ex-wife of former Marine fighter pilot Lt. Col. John P. Cushing Jr., who was married to Kristine Cushing when she killed their daughters — and who is remarried to her today.
Kristine was ruled not guilty by reason of temporary insanity and spent four years in a mental institution, followed by a decade of psychiatric monitoring before authorities in California determined she posed no risk. In 2005, she received an unconditional release.

There is plenty more, and I have personally placed a telephone call to King County Superior courts. I suggest that anyone else who has a problem with this do the same, bombard them with bad publicity, and get those boys out of the house. Also, they know they are living with the woman who killed their two half sisters all those years ago, and the father needs to have his head examined for what he is doing. He made those boys lie to their mother about who the woman was living in his house, made them tell their mother a fake name for her. The mom, Trisha Conlon, only found out because this Kristine Cushing's shrink called CPS to report she was living with children again, and that was in 2007, according to Ms. Conlon who appeared on the "Today" show. CPS called mom, and still this moron commissioner says it's much ado about nothing. It sounds as if he's siding with the father no matter what and ignoring the facts. I have plenty of sympathy for someone who has been severely mentally ill, but that doesn't trump the safety of the children. I never thought that Andrea Yates should have been tried for capital murder because she was/is mad as a hatter, but neither do I think that she should ever again have children, not that she will get out of the mental hospital for probably the rest of her life. It should be the same for this woman.
