French woman kills eight babies, media rushes to her defence...

So, here's a case of a French woman who killed eight babies and the media is outlining (and justifying) why she did it.

She claimed it was because she thought the babies were the result of incest (with her father) but DNA test results have since proven that all eight babies belonged to her husband.

Amazing the level of defense and justification the media will give to a female killer.  Would they be so defensive of a man who'd killed eight babies?  No likely!

Also, it turns out that Dominique Cottrez was only sentenced to nine years jail, which works out to be  a little over a year per child killed.

This is in contrast with Celine Lesage, who was sentenced to 15 years jail for killing six of her newborn babies (over two years per child killed) and Veronique Courjault was jailed for eight years jail for killing her three children (a little under two years per child killed).

Contrast this relatively light French justice against the case of Christophe Champenois who was sentenced to 30 years jail for killing his own child (30 years for one child).

The two lessons to take away from this are that the more children you kill, the less time you'll be sentenced to, unless you're male.  Kill anyone if you're a male and you'll go away for virtually life.
