So if murder committed is in the context of a supposed "game", then it's not really murder-murder. Suppose mom was playing Russian Roulette with those kids, would she be free now as well, and only facing maybe ten years, because it was just a game?
I would use this as an example of a system, and a country that is toast. If the legal system allows parents to kill their kids so easily, we got nothin.
I could sort of imagine a bunch of stupid teenagers doing something like that with other teenagers but a grown woman with her young children?!? It is unfathomable that an adult would ever think that was an appropriate "game".
She needs to get life in prison. Anybody that can kill their OWN kids, is scum of the highest order and don't deserve to live.
I can NEVER understand a parent that can kill their own kid, baring MAYBE if your kid is trying to kill you for no reason (or inheritance). Even then, that would be hard to live with, both from the fact you just killed your own kid, and the fact that they grew up to be evil enough to actually try to kill their own parent...

I don't know why people keep thinking she was playing "chicken".
She at first stated she backed over the children because she didn't see them.
When the video came out that proved that was a lie, she changed her story to say she was playing "chicken", so she'd just look completely foolish rather than evil.
IMHO, she tried to kill all 3, and by sheer luck was only able to kill one.

I think the problem is that the police issued a statement in response to her obviously false "chicken" story and now it's part of the narrative, front and center. They've validated it by responding to it.
"You should be playing Peek-A-Boo with a 3-year-old instead of forcing him to try and dodge a 5,600 pound deadly weapon," said Sean Teare, chief of the Vehicular Crimes Division.
Then the D.A. chimed in:
"Every parent has an obligation to protect their children, even from themselves," Ogg said. "Cars aren't toys and playing chicken with your kids isn't a game."
It would have been far better to simply state, "We believe her actions were deliberate, not accidental and not part of any `game'." These people need remedial lessons in communication.
