I don't think she tried hard enough to do herself in. She could have killed herself if she really tried. Let her answer to the Almighty. I am assuming he isn't exactly happy with her right now, but only he knows! She is a real piece of work that one!

I have always thought that one who murders another, especially a child,
should be tortured in the same manner as their victim almost to the point of death and then brought back to health, and then have it done all over again, as many times as possible! So, for her, she would be drowned over and over again. That would be a good deterrent for this sort of atrocity! If people knew that's what would happen they'd give more thought to what their victims would be going through knowing if they're caught they'll have to go through the same thing many times over! What is wrong with our justice system when people can commit such horrendous, gruesome crimes and never get what they deserve? The point isn't just to punish these sickos, but also to deter others from following in their footsteps. Anyone who kills their own children deserves to be tortured for all eternity!

Poor old Andrea!
She did a much better job on her kids than herself. She should be drowned just like she did her kids!! She's not nuts. The nuts are on the appeals court that overturned the conviction.

Children are our most precious and valuable resources - we must protect
them.  I think she should serve a life sentence, sick or not.  All criminals are sick in one way or another.  From what I remember about this story, the family was quite isolated  (kids home schooled, etc.)  The kids had no one to turn to for help.

Too bad she backed out.....
the children would be alive.......and she would never have had those ugly scratch marks on her arms as the children struggled with their last bit of oxygen to save themselves.......Sorry, I feel there is nothing wrong with frying this horrid woman.

I simply can't feel all that sorry for her
May have to do with a murder trial going on here right now because parents murdered their son last year.  I'm tired of seeing these babies die at the hands of those that should be protecting them.
