She might not have killed her husband herself, but hiring someone to do it is just as bad. She might as well have done it herself.
We should just execute him too.

What does being a mother have to do with it?
I don't get why the one would get life and other a death sentence?

Just the Brit paper trying to garner sympathy for her

Maybe he confessed, and complied with the investigation?

If the facts are as you state, then I think she committed murder. She used her boyfriend to murder her husband just as if she used a gun to murder him.

Makes sense he cut a deal and got life in return.

Still seems incredibly inane to give the murderer life for turning on the non violent accomplice and that person in turn getting death.

Not to me. If she was the instigator, then she was the cause of her husband's death, and like I said, whether she used a gun or a hit man, she is guilty of murder as far as I'm concerned. It's the same as if a mafia don got one of his underlings to kill someone. He'd be guilty of murder, too. In many cases the guy who pulled the trigger has flipped and gone into witness protection, and the mafia don who ordered the murder got convicted of murder.

Not really. You want to get a conviction. It's a lot harder to get a conviction than you might think. Having someone confess goes a long ways.

Don't get me wrong I don't think one is less wrong than the other.
