Mr. Maxon recorded tapes, homemade therapy for his wife when she became depressed. On them, a police affidavit said, Mr. Maxon repeatedly chanted: "Our son is riding on the short bus." "Life is so deliciously miserable." "I am a mother. It's all my fault."

Anyone who would use tapes to vilify an already mentally unstable mother deserves punishment. This is a clear case, imo, of a man manipulating a woman to do something like drown herself or her child or both.
