please also remember,

every step of the way, my sister's husband conspired with her.

every. step.

if anything, if he stopped her from doing so, there'd be no issues.

he conspired with someone who is mentally broken.

that obvious wrong, he nourished her ego and shared the hatred.

he deserves even more punishment than my sister.

please understand the evil behind this,

and the situational evidence behind how they were together every step of the way to crime, and therefore the harm.

i get that for the kids, it may seem the law is moral in saving one over the other,

but i can assure you,

both are evil people and the kids are better off in someone else's care.
