Mother Charged With Murdering Kids Says They Were 'Possessed by Demons'

Story here. Excerpt:

"Authorities estimate the four girls — ages 5 to 17 — had been dead for at least two weeks. Jacks told police they were "possessed by demons" and had died in their sleep, one by one, within a week of each other, court documents say.

Jacks was charged Thursday with four counts of first-degree murder. She said nothing during a hearing in Superior Court, where Magistrate Judge Karen Howze ordered her held without bond. Her attorneys had argued that she should be released to the custody of an adult relative pending trial.

Jacks could receive a maximum sentence of life in prison if convicted."

Jacks could receive a maximum sentence of life in prison if convicted."

Reality check here: Jacks is a female. If Andrea Yates can get away with murdering 5 children by claiming temporary insanity then this skank just has to play the same NGBROI card and walk with no criminal record after a couple of years in a psycho ward. She will not be convicted of any thing. Of course that guy who threw his 4 kids off the bridge in Alabama recently will probably be executed.

Does the law actually state that it is not possible to execute a convicted murderer if the convicted individual is female?

Or, is it just accepted legal practice?

Do the prosecutors just automatically go for life instead of the death penalty?

I guess the answer is that it depends on which state she murdered her children in...
