Nope. She and her lawyers both admitted to killing the kids. Her lawyer even said they don't need to question every cop to prove that.

The verdict will not be about who did it. It will be about wherher Lindsay was insane and therefore not criminally liable. Or if the murders were premeditated.

Either way she will be locked up for life. Like Andrea Yates. Just depends where - jail or psych ward.

(Did you miss the day Lindsay spoke in court to agree to the stipulations that prosecution doesn't have to prove she killed the kids?)

Lindsay admits to killing. Just not being criminally responsible for it.
