"Mother Murder"...Dena Schlosser PT.1: ... about to walk free in Texas...

A Dallas area State District Court today ruled that Dena Schlosser of Plano (North Dallas suburbia) can be released from her hospital rehab incarceration next month. Judge Chris Oldner of the 219th State District Court ruled for Schlosser to be released next month for "outpatient" treatment, and for a plan to be completed by December 05, 2008.

In November 2004 Mrs. Schlosser grabbed her 10 month old daughter ... took a kitchen knife and severed her daughters arm's,which in the process ... her daughter bled to death. After her task ... she called 911 ... and reported what she had done ... and waited calmly for authorities to arrive ... put up no resistance ... and explained what she had done. I can only assume that the process was not as easy as cutting off the leg's of a cold dead turkey either ... especially with a kitchen knife. Authorities who arrived at the scene reported she was very calm at the time.

In April 2006 Justice Oldner found Schlosser "not guilty" by reason of insanity at her now 2nd trial ... Schlosser's first trial ended in a "hung jury". In 2007 her husband John divorced her and left with their 2 daughters to move to Weatherford (a small neighbouring Metroplex community)

Schlosser was committed to a North Texas State Hospital in Vernon (SE of Dallas) where she shared a room with another mom named Andrea Yates who a few years prior to this case ... drowned 5 of her children in a row in Houston ... she was also found "not guilty" by reason of insanity. Schlosser was transfered to another Hospital shortly after with minimal security ... Rusk State Hospital (Vernon is maximum security). The entire time Schlosser has done nothing but bitch, moan, and bellyache about her conditions in writing to the Judge since day one. She also wrote the Judge stating she wanted another trial because of medical record's mistakes that were made at her trial that were already corrected. Her first written letter to the Judge came only 7 month's after her incarceration ... asking to be released ... that she thought she has been rehabilitated. And her attorney say's that she has made progress. Um,um,um ... imagine that! Now Judge Oldner say's she can be released ... but she must find a suitable residence near the Rusk facility ... she can have no unsupervised contact with children ... and she must continue to remain on birth control.

I must be insane myself ... because ... like the Andrea Yates case ... I cannot see the punishment here. There has also been a couple other cases in recent years in Texas where the mothers killed the children ... and not one has done a day in a prison. All the cases that I recall..it was voices that told the mother's to do so ... and the voices were identified as being from god.Schlosser was no exception ... for she also received messages from the Almighty.

Why are not any of these individual's doing prison time? The death penalty in Texas only applies to murder #1 cases that have an additional felony ... such as aggravated robbery, rape or such along with the initial murder charge, even though personally speaking ... I think the death penalty should also apply to any of these cases as well. At least let these offender's do some actual prison time ... like ... you know ... "life" ... where they can even get paroled after good behaviour after 15 years or so ... for Petes sake ... what kind of messsage are we sending with these so called ..."not guilty by reason of insanity" verdict's? They say... it's either voices from god or stress or what have you. Well ... then call god in as a material witness in these cases ... if god doesnt show up ... oh well! Stress? Uhhhh ... why do these folks get pregnant annually? Did they ever hear of birth control? They cant help it ... their insane? Knock it off ... this isnt a damn "Dr. Phil" episode! All the personal letters that Schlosser wrote to the Judge ... with legal details of what actions to take? I mean ... is she insane ... or a criminal law major?

I dont find their thinking to be "insane" at all ... I think some of our thinking is irrational actually. I dont even think the most liberated counties in the USA such as San Francisco County or even Multnomah County(Portland,Or) could swallow this nonsense! I sure as Hell dont!
