I'd rather have my mom in jail than dead; unfortunately for the victims family, they wouldn't have had that choice.
As far as I'm concerned, my mom is a grown woman who makes her own decisions. When you choose to lay someone down, you're practically choosing to spend the rest of your life in jail. Of course, I'd feel guilty for letting my mom fall when I could have potentially kept her safe; but again, the guilt of knowing that I'm retaining information, closure and a body from a suffering family would be even worse than any guilt I would feel for letting my mom face the repercussions of her actions.
Kind of off-topic, but this reminds me Serial Mom, when the daughter wants her mom to get help/go to jail and the son hides her away in a storage room to keep her safe.
