Roseanne is sobbing loudly. Jury must provide recommendation for parole eligibility. Judge is going to let them deal with that tomorrow.

YES! I feel so badly for this child every time I look at her photo. Poor baby, so many kind and caring people would have loved to have adopted her, and raise her as their own.

Heaving, loud sobs emitted from Roseanne Whalen late Tuesday night when a jury delivered a guilty verdict in the second-degree murder of her toddler.

It was a Roseanne Whalen they hadn’t seen before.

Not on 91/2 hours of police interview tapes when she described giving Marissa mouth-to-mouth and “feeling” her last breath.

Not when she told police she buried the girl in the dead of night in a remote wooded area.

Not when she provided grisly details of digging up her daughter five days later to remove evidence and finding her head had “exploded.” Whalen did shed tears when her ex-lover, Rainbow Hill, testified for the Crown. And she cried when a photo of Marissa’s bones was displayed for the jury — the bottom half of the girl missing and presumed dragged away by animals.

But she hadn’t cried like this.

How horrifying that she cries for that which matters most to her - herself. What a self-serving piece of work she is. Ugh. I'm grateful that the jury found her guilty. It would have been a hellish job to be a juror on this case, IMO.
