I don't misunderstand you at all. I also am horrified by how she killed her kids. However, I also am appalled that her crime is considered equivalent to that of someone who, say, robbed a place and killed the person who was working to get rid of witnesses. Punishing her (especially the death penalty) will hurt her family even more and won't deter anyone. Between the psychosis and having to live with what she's done, she already has been punished a lot.
The experts predict that she will get life imprisonment rather than the death penalty. Here's hoping that they're right.
