I respect everyone's opinion about this case like i always do in all other cases.
Everyone is allowed to express individual opinions on WS, which not only makes it the greatest crime blog site, but diverse as well.
I followed this case reading about it, but never posted.
So I will express my honest opinion one time, and return to the many other cases I'm following closely.
I do not agree with the NG verdict. I believe she purposefully killed her precious baby, and then covered it up. I accept the verdict even though I disagree with it, which is my right to do so.
I do not believe she was coerced into confessing. I have seen countless interrogations of suspects. Hers was not out of the norm neither were the investigators doing it, imo.
Did she not text how happy she was to have a flat belly again? (Paraphrasing) If so, it not only shows unbelievable callousness, but it definitely shows she was self absorbed much more with her outward beauty than her baby who she had put dead in her backyard as if she buried what she thought had no human value to her. Imo, because it didnt. Her little baby was seen as only an obstacle in her way.
However, I'm not the least bit surprised another white, blonde, female defendant got away with murder.
Remember when a white, very pretty, female teacher, who was actually a pedophile sex offender, with those she knew were underage? If it had been a male defendant they would have been charged with rape, because that is exactly what it is no matter the gender,and been sent to prison for many years.
Yet did she do any jail time at all for her predatory actions, and abuse of power? Of course not. Her attorney said she was just too pretty to go to jail. Sickenly the judge bought it.
So, I'm not the least bit surprised another female murdered her helpless baby, and got away with it again.
Unfortunately women offenders can be afforded far different standards when they wind up in our criminal judicial system.
It's not the first time nor will it be the last when a female has placed no human value for their own babies they have killed, but jurors continue to devalue the lives of these murdered babies as well.
This verdict would have been the total opposite for any father who dared to kill their baby. Then he would be convicted, and sentenced harshly, rightfully so.
Yet it seems if it is done by their mothers then all excuses under the sun are afforded to them when they wouldn't even be discussed, much less considered at trial for the male father offenders nor should it be for either gender.
However, the double standards for each gender doing the same like crimes are replusive, and a grave injustice. It leaves a horrible message that if the mom is the one who kills their own baby, its acceptable, and seen as okay as long as the dads dont do it.
It painfully shows females demand they are to be treated equal, which they should, except it seems they don't want it to apply when they find themselves in the criminal justice system.
Instead they want to appear meek, needy, downtrodden, poor little damsels in distress. Why? Because it continues to work for many of them of course.. with either found NG or little if any jail time.
God please protect all of the other unwanted babies who are seen only as burdens, instead of cherished blessings they truly are.
Jmho though, and nothing more.
