"I feel it was really a just punishment, because I think killing her would be to subtle. The more time she has to study it, the more likely Smith will realize what she has done."

John Nall

Cape Girardeau

"I think she should be executed. Killing her two kids just isn't something you should get life in prison for. You should get the death penalty. She deserves what she did to her kids"

Derrick Seabaugh

Cape Girardeau

"I thought she deserved death. If she can kill her own two kids, then there is no reason she shouldn't die."

John Hill

Advance

"I think she should get the death penalty. It was a cruel crime. Anybody who kills their kids has got to be nuts or something."
