Go on judge, I DARE you..... This boy knew he was going to die and apparently just wanted whatever time he had left to be free from being nothing but sick.....leave this mother alone - she has suffered enough with the loss of her child.

Unless she is psychotic (which is a possibility, of course), please release her and if she is convicted, then sentence her in a way that enables her to continue earning her own living and retirement benefits (such as a provisional sentence that is dismissed after it's served, thus avoiding being a convicted felon), but affords her no comfort or opportunity to advance. Otherwise, we're going to be taking money away from our more important needs to make a statement that is falling on deaf ears.

God bless us all.

If you are outraged by this charge, vote to acquit.

And then go to the ballot box and vote for a new DA.

You have no choice left. Facism has arrived in the United States, blooming over the last 50 years.

We've been asleep at the wheel so long, it's gone too far to stop.

Welcome to your brave new world.

And still they sleep on.
