Seventeen hours to decide whether strangling three children is a crime is not careful deliberation. It is a room that has lost the plot. The facts were never hidden. A mother waited for her husband to leave, then killed Cora, Dawson, and Callan one by one.Nine women and three men sat with that evidence. If the holdouts are clinging to every psychiatric theory while three small bodies are already in the ground, the problem is not a lack of information. It is a culture that treats the perpetrator as the main character and the victims as a sad footnote.Justice does not require seventeen hours of excuses. It requires the courage to say that some acts are evil even when the person who committed them is suffering. The children never got a second chance. The law should not invent one for the person who took theirs.
