Please forgive me for playing devil's advocate, but once Stinson has an attorney (probably court-appointed), said counsel will want to review interrogation procedures, whether the confession was coerced, whether Stinson might have been under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs, whether the incident that led to little Jordan's passing was accidental, possible underlying health issues the little boy might have had that might have caused seizures, etc. I seriously hope this case doesn't go to trial and that Stinson would spare Jordan's family the agony of a trial, but I doubt this situation will be cut-and-dried and without a few glitches.
For starters, attorney will probably want DP taken off the table, assuming it's warranted with the 1st degree murder charge. I'm not opposed to death penalty but don't necessarily advocate for it, either. I've always lived in Michigan where DP has never been an option. I can accept incarceration for the remainder of one's natural life as the ultimate punishment for first degree murder. I sincerely hope Stinson's attorney doesn't find a way to plea this down to a lesser crime that wouldn't keep her locked up for a significant period of time.
