That is, the 11 who bought the notion that strangling three kids to death can be attributed to mental illness. It took minutes for her to murder the kids, using exercise bands to kill them by cutting off their air supply. But a mistrial was declared when the jury failed to convict the child killer. ... https://www.renewamerica.com/columns/kincaid/260907 Cliff Kincaid Mon, 07 Sep 2026 01:13:57 +0000 https://www.renewamerica.com/columns/kincaid/260907 (Rev.
