Jurors were shown this photo of two-year-old Marissa Whalen.

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 hadnt 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 Marissas bones was displayed for the jury the bottom half of the girl missing and presumed dragged away by animals.
But she hadnt 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.
Good overview of this horrible case here: http://www.chch.com/whalen-found-guilty-death-daughter/
