100% is a reasonable standard when the crime is murder. We have 100% proof that she's capable of murdering children. We have less than 100% proof that she'll never do it again.

If the perp is NOT insane, then I'd say for murdering 2 kids, they should get either death, or life in prison—no getting out except in a box, period, not ever—I'm fine with life in prison with no parole instead of the death penalty, but I do think they should have no "perks" in prison (no TV, radio, etc). There is some chance >0 that they will kill again. Having murdered, they lose any benefit of the doubt from ME, anyway. I'll never trust they are rehabilitated. Never.

In the case of someone insane, I think the same rules apply. They might be treatable, but they could possibly relapse. Since a relapse could mean more dead, tough, they need to be incarcerated for life. What type of facility I'm open to debate about, but she should never walk the streets again.
