On January 14, 2010, Jennifer Lynn Bigham of Patterson, California, confessed to drowning her 3-year-old daughter in a bathtub. In December 2012, she was found not guilty by reason of insanity after two doctors said that the killing was a psychotic episode.
This week medical experts told Superior Court Judge Thomas Zeff that Bigham is no longer insane and, as the law requires, she was released from custody. Case closed.

Danger to society? The medical experts(?) and Superior Court Judge Thomas Zeff are dangers to society.
Til she has another child, babysits , etc..,totally wrong decision.
I agree with the 2 people who made comments above my comment. It just makes me sick how some of these crimminals get away with so much! So, they said she is insane & then later on not insane? It makes no sense. I doubt if all of a sudden or even after therapy & treatment that now she is no longer a threat to another child.
Even if she had to get sterilized, she could harm another child.
