(November 7, 2008)--A Plano woman who killed her 10-month-old daughter by cutting off the infant’s arms with a kitchen knife is due to be released from a state mental hospital.

Dena Schlosser killed her baby daughter, Maggie, in 2004.

Her first trial ended with a hung jury.

In 2006 she was sent to a mental hospital after being found not guilty by reason of insanity.

Collin County prosecutor Curtis Howard said Schlosser will be released into outpatient treatment within the next month.

Schlosser testified at trial that she killed her daughter because she wanted to give the baby to God.

A judge held Schlosser's annual commitment hearing this week and
decided she's mentally stable enough to leave the hospital.

Schlosser notified the court via letter in June that she thinks her current mental health needs can be met by outpatient community services.

It's unclear where Schlosser will live.

She and her husband divorced last year.

Schlosser is barred from seeing her two surviving daughters.

this woman deserves nothing less than a public display such as those in other countries where the offenders are whipped relentlessly!

OMG, there has to be a special place in hell for this woman and the "nuts" who are agreeing to free her!! I don't think giving this woman lethal injection would be right - way too darn humane-pack of wolves works for me!!

Ed in New Jersey...'unforgiving'? A ten month old baby is horrificly murdered. Her tender arms sawed off by a kitchen knife. The pain that baby must have felt. Not to mention the bone this woman had to cut through and you want forgiveness? This child was awake for her whole murder by someone who she thought loves her and you want us to show some kind of mercy/compassion? No way. This woman burns in hell. May this little girl rest in peace after her own mother mutilated her. Here is my prayer: Dear Lord please send this woman to hell, she doesn't deserve to breathe in anything but pungent air. She deserves to be in total pain and misery for eternity. Please slice her arms off daily and cut through the bone. Make her feel that over and over again. Amen.
