Whilst I was (and am) horrified at the crime, and understand the sentiments expressed here, I can't feel glad she's dead (not that I'll shed any tears over it either) or sorry that she's not suffering. Making her suffer doesn't bring back the child.

Are you the pope?

Actually I think he said "I don't have all the answers".

He might like to suggest ways of stopping this from re-occurring.

So you wouldn't mind going to live in one?

Suffering is just as much emotional and psychological as it is physical, and that's even before you factor in how keen criminals are on child-abusers.

You think being labelled as a coward really means much in comparison to torturing her own child to death? Or that her suffering in any way atones for what she'd done?

It's a horrible mess with no glimmers of anything good however things had gone IMO.

There's no "suffering" in a modern prison, no way for any type of atonement to be brought about. The only positives to the whole disaster are that she's been removed from the gene pool and that the country no longer has to pay to keep her alive.

The day before his birthday? I wonder if she felt sorrow/regret for the crime.

Well the modern justice system has moved on from "eye for an eye" and I don't know how you can compare X years in prison with Y years of being tortured to death anyway.

Was going more for the she took the cowards way out, rather than "an eye for an eye" (which as we know leaves everyone blind)

She killed herself the day before her son's birthday, yes she has saved the tax payer a lot of money, but she got out of the suffering she would have endured in prison long short of the amount of suffering she caused
