i'd be shocked and appalled if the state ever went along with a plea now.
and you're right, if it gets to penalty phase of course her family will beg for her life, despite what she has done to them. they will excuse her for being mentally disturbed. what else can they do?
baez could have gone with a mental defense, but he chose not to. they might have had a chance with that. it's too late now, but in a penalty phase they will use a mental defense in mitigation. it will be PTSD. from all her 'abuse'.
