The important thing here, just like in all criminal cases, is evidence. We have evidence that she placed her daughter in the microwave. We have no evidence that she had an epileptic seizure. If we are to believe her on her word without any supporting evidence, to be consistent we would have to do so in other criminal trials as well. Any criminal accused of any crime could say they had a seizure to avoid punishment.
To see how well court systems worked that didn't rely on evidence, look back at the history of witch burnings and the inquisition.

I'm just saying she would've had a better chance if she did the right thing and stuck to the truth, whatever that may be. Lieing about a space heater only made things worse for her. And I doubt we were given all the evidence in that little article. The news is only interested in the juicy bits.
