They figured she would, too. (I assume there was a whole rationale about acceptance of responsibility and the like.)

Everything I've read would indicate that yes indeed, Teresa did know. Is Teresa intelligent enough and legally sane enough to know that this action is a crime, and that this action is morally wrong? Yes and maybe, in that order. Is Teresa intelligent enough to conceive this crime and construct the plot to carry out the crime? Maybe and no, in that order. Yes, the idea might have occurred to Teresa, but I don't see anyone who is borderline retarded (AKA a real dumb ass) coming up with a plan and enlisting the aid of two other back woods geniuses to carry it out. Maybe more to the point, I don't think Teresa understood her position in the justice system, nor can I imagine Teresa was represented by adequate legal council or represented in a timely manner. Given all that, Teresa should be doing 20 to life.Mad Jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06190137186843630543noreply@blogger.com
