TYLER, Texas (CNN) -- A church choir member charged with killing two of her
three sons has shown emotions ranging from hysteria to stunned silence as
she sits in an East Texas jail cell, Smith County Sheriff J. B. Smith said
Monday.

According to Smith, Deanna LaJune Laney told authorities that God told her
to kill her children.

He [Smith] said the Laneys were a "very stable, loving family," and the
suspect has no history of mental illness [except deeply held religious
convictions one might conclude from the facts given]
