I don't think she doesn't deserve anything but she needs mental help and she won't get that in prison. She'll become part of the system.
I Would say 5 years and then a rehab program with mental health help or something

Groan. I cant stand Dr Phil, but Gypsy is fascinating. Ten years sounds fine by me. I feel for the girl but daaayum, she did orchestrate he mama's death. Not that I blame her, but that victim card has done expired, baby girl.
Re-learning everything includes all the manipulative games her mama taught her, and that victim card is at the top of the play list.What do you mean, her victim card has expired? She remained isolated and abused literally until her mother was deceased. The poor girl basically has to re-learn everything she was ever taught about life.
I feel like 10 years is a reasonable sentence for her because she did know that murder was wrong, but I believe she really didn't think she would have any other way out.

Ten years is not too long IMO. Yes, I pity her but the normal world doesn't play by Deedee's rules and she doesn't get special treatment for choosing murder as an out.
Time to record over the old tapes and learn new coping skills. I wish she could have access to a good mental health support system to help her but those are few and far between. MOO
I am watching the documentary Mommy Dead and Dearest about the case on HBO right now. There is no commentary, just Gypsy, family, LE, experts talking, and there's a lot of original coverage, interrogation footage, home videos, and photos.
DeeDee's father (I believe it was her father) straight up says she got what she deserved, and Dr. Marc Feldman (the Munchausen expert) likens the murder to someone in captivity killing their captor so that they can break free.
MOO
I knew nothing of this case until seeing it on Dr. Phil. The whole thing is awful . I don't understand how she had so many surgeries if nothing was actually wrong with her. How did they get doctors to do the surgeries??
I feel awfully sorry for her, but I don't know how much 'rehabilitation' is possible. She has learnt to survive by manipulating, and even if she had the best mental healthcare in the world available to her, is that something that can be unpicked? Watching her interview on Dr Phil, and even footage in the documentary, there doesn't seen to be anything real about her, she's just saying the right things in the right places.

Because mother would go to a doctor and claim that a child has all the symptoms. The child is young so doctors just go with what mother claims. Not that unusual in Munchausen by proxy cases.
But were they exploratory surgeries?

It's a very surreal case with highly disturbed individuals. It's just all very sad.
I feel absolutely awful for what Gypsy had gone through with a sociopath for a mother, yet I don't feel like a lot of what she says can be trusted - not necessarily as far as stories go, it is more about how helpless she really was. I am not sure she was as helpless as she claims. If I am wrong, I apologize.
It's a sad case.
MOO
After watching those videos... I dunno... I think she may have been better off taking her chances with a jury.
Just hearing the litany of diagnoses she had, and the massive list of unnecessary, and *harmful* meds she was on... if I were on the jury there's no way I could have voted guilty to 2nd degree. Maybe voluntary manslaughter.
