I remember when this was originally in the news 10 years ago, and followed the story periodically since then. The whole story is so tragic, especially the part where she feels compelled to plead guilty to manslaughter to avoid a trial that could send her son to prison for life. Even the judge felt terrible having to sentence her to 10 years. The prosecutor, though...ugh. Declaring that she thinks Wendy "exaggerated" her abuse. And while she has been able to see her three youngest sons while incarcerated, she cannot see her oldest, because he is a convicted felon (due to his guilty plea) and they were co-perpetrators of their crime. The whole thing is just such a ridiculous miscarriage of justice.
She applied for clemency more than once; always denied. I am glad she will be released in March, and hope that she will be able to transition into her new life with as much ease as one can have in such a horrible situation.
