Who is this woman and how did she get elected in Texas - of all places? The problem is not Jessica Farrar, the problem is her constituency and her supporters/followers in the legislature. It's not illegal to be a whacko, but the voters should know better than elect whackos to speak for them unless, of course...er, uh, well, you know, the voters themselves are whackos.Charles L. Cotton wrote:So you have to meet the standard of insanity to be found "not guilty by reason of insanity," but merely having your judgment "impaired" is sufficient to reduce the classification of murdering an infant from capitol murder (death penalty or life in prison) to a state jail felony (6 months to two years in jail).HB3318 wrote:(e)At the punishment stage of a trial in which a defendant
has been found guilty of causing the death of a child to whom the
defendant gave birth within the 12-month period preceding the
child ’s death, the defendant may raise the issue as to whether the
defendant caused the child ’s death because the defendant ’s judgment
was impaired as a result of the effects of giving birth or the
effects of lactation following the birth. If the defendant proves
the issue in the affirmative by a preponderance of the evidence, the
offense is a state jail felony.
Jessica Farrar,the bill's primary author, is also the woman who filed HB1395 that would make legal hunting a defense to prosecution, meaning every hunter could be arrested and prosecuted and they would have to hire an attorney to prove the defense of lawful hunting. So she would have lawful hunters to jail for killing a dove, but only have a murdering mother spend 6 months to two years in jail.

BTW, my little rant has nothing to do with freedom of choice.
