"woman who claimed God ordered her to make a human sacrifice chose to kill her three children instead of herself, making her guilty of murder, a prosecutor said Wednesday during closing arguments at the woman's trial.
Prosecutor Linda Allen asked jurors to use their heads, not hearts, to determine Lashuan Harris' fate. The mentally ill Oakland woman threw her children into San Francisco Bay last year but has pleaded not guilty to three counts of murder by reason of insanity.Defense attorney Teresa Caffese said Harris believed completely that she was sending her children -- 6-year-old Trayshun Harris, 2-year-old Taronta Greeley, Jr., and 16-month-old Joshoa Greeley -- to heaven when she threw them over a railing and into the bay's cold waters.
If Harris believed her delusions were real, Caffese argued, she is innocent of murder....."

psychological testing/evaluations

medications for delusions/schizophrenia
hospitalized for a very long time to make sure that she never again does this to anyone
can I just ad one thing that alot of people aren't going to want to hear, and I'm sure some people are thinking the same thing...
where are the husbands/fathers in all of this?
how about the cases where the woman are so overworked. the husbands want them to keep having children, and then the husbands leave them alone all of the time, and he trots off to work... yes, they do horrible things... post pardom depression.....they even ask their husbands for help and beg them in some cases................but the husband just doesn't take them seriously, or does not care... the mother can't take anymore, flips out...the husband is free from any blame, and goes on with his life.........................is this fair? I think not!
