Kimberly Cargill, Murderess An Anthology of True Crime

'Bad Choices' that End in Murder 'I'd kill for my child.' It's a bit of a cliché, one that rolls off the tongue glibly enough but also with a touch of traction. We would do anything for our kids; they become central to all that we do, everything we are. But the point is that most of us wouldn't, or would need the most impossibly extreme circumstances, kill or be killed, to carry out the threat. Where that impossibly extreme point falls is, of course, a matter of personal interpretation - something made up of many contributing factors. Kimberly Cargill is headed for the gurney.
At some point the State of Texas will execute her. Something it does with more frequency than many other states in the US, although less often for women than for men. But had Kimberly not lost the justice system's zip code lottery, she might be anywhere now from death row, to prison without the chance of parole, through to being in receipt of psychological support, most probably (but not definitely) in a secure environment. Cargill's case is one with many facets.
Are her claims of what happened a touch over ten years ago actually correct? Did she carry out the crime for which she was convicted?
