Mom accused of killing kids to plead insanity

Story here. Excerpt:

'Brewer Monday pleaded "not responsible by reason of mental disease or defect," and will now be sent to a secure upstate psychiatric facility indefinitely, prosecutors said.
...
Brewer, prosecutors and Berkowitz all agreed to the plea after two independent psychiatric evaluations showed that, at the time she killed the three children, she didn't know that what she was doing was wrong.

"My granddaughter loved her children," said Brewer's grandmother Maebell Mickens, outside the courtroom. "I feel she's getting ready to get the help she needs."

Brewer, 28, is accused of drowning her three children in February 2008, and she later said she feared that her children were under a voodoo curse. Killed were Jewell Ward, 6, Michael Demesyeux, 5, and Innocent Demesyeux, 18 months.
...
The father of the youngest children, Innocent Demesyeux, said in a statement issued by his attorney last week that he was "shocked" that prosecutors would let Brewer plead insanity.

"The question of whether she is guilty or not by reason of insanity should be decided by regular people on a jury and not by lawyers and politicians," Demesyeux said in the statement.'
