Story here. Excerpt:

"A mother accused of throwing her young son off a balcony three months ago waived her right to a preliminary hearing Thursday, sending the case to trial.

Rita Sativa Kraft's 18-month-old son Connor suffered multiple skull and facial fractures after he fell 21 feet off a balcony at the family's Lompico home on the morning of Sept. 12, according to authorities. The boy, who suffered significant brain trauma, was unconscious and not breathing after landing on the packed dirt below the balcony.

He was resuscitated by a housemate who had medical training, then airlifted to a trauma center over the hill.

The child has since been released from the hospital into his father's custody. Doctors say it may be some time before the full extent of his brain injuries are known.
...
Kraft's attorney, Jon Minsloff, previously told the Sentinel his client was suffering from postpartum depression when the incident occurred. He also told the paper that Kraft has a family history of mental illness."

Kraft's attorney, Jon Misloff is just projecting the now formulaic chicken shit response to child mortality caused by the maternal caretaker. Playing the "postpartum blues" card will more than likely get this potential child killer off with no conviction due to TEMPORARY insanity. Two years at a state psychiatric facility; declared "cured" and she is out with no criminal record.

I read a hypothesis (an educated one of course), that domestically violent women are 10 times more likelly to kill their children, than non-domestically violent women.

If this is true, the feminists who refuse to aknowledge womens violence, and in effect keep these women from getting any help they need for their vilonce..

Then these feminist organizations indirectly have blood on their hands!!
