I found it odd that the second article you link to compares her with Myra Hindley and Rosemary West - I thought there was no doubt they were guilty.
I was also surprised to read the bit about Mr Hanson confessing to his lawyers. I hadn't thought about it before, but I'd sort of assumed that if someone told their lawyer they were guilty then there would be some rule or something against the lawyer pretending in court that the client was innocent. I know very little about law - I do realise that it often doesn't seem to have much to do with common sense, but then neither does general relativity.
Perhaps I should point karen2205 at this as something I'd like to have explained to me - she was asking what people would like her to write about. Or perhaps someone else who reads this would do the honours.
