Will this woman be set free? After all, she was practicing her religion, and (as we have seen in various Obamacare lawsuits) breaking the law isn't a problem if you do it in the name of religion?

The short story: a woman stabbed her two children to death in an attempt to rid them of evil spirits; she was attempting an exorcism.

Recent court cases have been excusing lawbreaking if the ‘excuse’ is that they are abridging a person’s (or a corporation’s – but we all know that corporations are people, according to the Supreme Court) freedom to practice religion in the way they choose.

So, will this woman get off? She did the crime in the name of adherence to her religion.
