Her surviving daughters, her sister, and her mother all support Megan Huntsman.
Snip:
Her sister read letters from two of Huntsman's three daughters. Her mother also made a statement of support.
Huntsman's youngest daughter wrote of being "shocked and heartbroken" by her mother's crimes.
"This is not the Mom I know," her letter reads. "The Mom I know was the one who had dinner for us every night, a clean house and was a loving mother. Nobody could guess my mom would do anything like this."
Separately, Jamie Huntsman told the court her sister "is not a monster. She's not evil. From what I understand, she was scared."
Nonetheless, Provo Judge Darold McDade sentenced her to the maximum term, which will make her eligible for parole in 30 years.
Utah County Attorney Jeff Buhman said, however, he doubted Huntsman would ever be released.
"These were very cold and calculated killings," Buhman said. "She was a woman who was remarkably unbelievable and incredibly indifferent. She smothered or strangled six of her own flesh and blood."
