I don't think even OJ was tried on capital murder, was he? Wasn't it termed a "crime of passion" when it was tried? I don't remember.
On a related by definite tangent - I don't know if she did it, or how, or what, or whatever. I will say this: Giving birth or fathering children does not canonize a person. There have been instances I've seen in my lifetime of a parent who "accidentally" ran over their child behind the vehicle, or "accidentally" left them in the car to roast or freeze while they went in somewhere, or a number of other actions the media and police called accidental - that I've questioned. Not everybody wants children, and not everybody once they have children, wants to put up with them for 20-some years. I mean, think about it: Not only do you get rid of the annoying little pest with one of these "accidents," you get all kinds of sympathy and back-pats for being the grieving parent.
(Lest you think I'm just cynical, there was actually a case in the city where I used to live, where a well-known business owner left his baby locked in his vehicle for a good stretch of time one hot day, and the baby died. It was termed an accident, and the general consensus was "aww, poor Daddy, he just didn't know." What the fuck didn't he know? That it was hot? That locking any living thing in a small space with lots of closed windows in the SUN might dehydrate it? How goddamn dumb was he? Yeah, right.
