One more blow against patriarchal oppression, right Badbabysitter?

Court overturned murder conviction
Two years ago, for the second time, a jury found her guilty of murder, but last May the province's highest court decided the jury made a mistake.
In a rare move, the Alberta Court of Appeal overturned the conviction, replacing it with the lesser one of infanticide.
The appeal court said Effert should have been given the benefit of the doubt based on psychiatric evidence.
At the sentencing hearing Thursday Crown prosecutor John Laluk recommended a four-year sentence saying, "We have to remember this is a homicide."
The maximum sentence for infanticide is five years in prison.
