"First, I tried to give them bathroom cleaner. I put in their mouth, but they don't drink it. I want them to drink it. They don't drink it. ... I grabbed their neck ... and they are no more," she says on the tape.

I am never surprised at the depths humans can sink. Often disgusted, angry, and sickened, but never surprised. Well there is one good thing, this happened in Texas. Let's see what the Texas judiciary does with this case.


At least her 911 call will make it very hard for an insanity defense.
