It is amazing that someone could kill three of her children and get such a light sentence:

A French woman who admitted killing three of her own babies, burning one corpse and hiding the others in the family freezer, was sentenced on Thursday to eight years in jail.

Veronique Courjault had faced a possible life sentence after she admitted to smothering two baby boys born in secret at her expat home in South Korea in 2002 and 2003, and a third child born in France in 1999.

Wearing a navy blue-and-white checked shirt, her hair pulled back in a pony tail, the 41-year-old wept openly after her sentence was read out, at the close of an emotional eight-day trial that has gripped France.

She exchanged a final glance with her husband Jean-Louis, who stood by her throughout the trial, and touched hands with her sisters, before being led out of the courtroom in the central city of Tours.

Smiling with relief, Jean-Louis Courjault, 42 told reporters he and the couple’s two older sons, now 12 and 14, were happy with the verdict.

“This is a sentence that will allow us to rebuild our lives, to see light at the end of the tunnel. In a few months, Veronique will be able to be reunited with her children, and we will have a new beginning.”

Since she has served almost three years in pre-trial detention, Courjault could be eligible for parole under French law in as little as a year, her lawyers said.  [AFP via Marmot's Hole]

I think this is a perfect example that the lives of infants are not worth as much as the lives of children or adults.  If she killed her two older children she would probably be in jail for a much longer time.
