She tried to plead down to 2nd degree murder.
That is what the state rejected.
Defendants often try to 'blackmail' families into pressuring the State to settle, thereby sparing them the mudslinging and pain associated with reliving the realities of the actual crime, especially in cases like this one.
No dice, JA.
Her handiwork was so off-the-charts brutal and so far beyond self defense, that the deck is stacked against her, not the prosecution.
That's why she tried to plead down.
Despite her claims to the contrary -- "No jury will ever convict me, and you can mark my words on that" -- she knows full well that her guilt proved beyond a reasonable doubt may very well land needles in "two usable veins"; the second being necessary should occlusion or malfunction occur in the first.
If she thought that little Bic nick was so painful, even on the Advil, just imagine what she'll do when the needles are inserted, and the reality of those seconds presses down with immovable emotional tonnage upon her spirit.
I do not believe she will be so concerned with her makeup, correcting the prosecutor, or keeping her lies straight in that moment.
