PORTLAND, Ore. -- A Tualatin mother accused of throwing her two children off the Sellwood Bridge last May was change her plea to guilty in a Tuesday afternoon court hearing, KGW has learned.

Amanda Jo Stott-Smith got a life sentence with the possibility of parole in 35 years.

She pushed or threw her two children from the bridge in Southwest Portland in the early morning hours of May 23, 2009.

She was found a few hours later threatening to commit suicide in a downtown Portland parking garage.

Stott-Smith faces eight counts of aggravated murder and attempted aggravated murder for the death of her 4-year-old son and the near-drowning of her 7-year-old daughter.

No sympathy. WHY did they prevent her from offing herself? That coulda been the most appropriate end possible. She should be stood against a wall and shot for doing this. Life in prison is too good for her. Give it time, and in a year or two, she'll have 'found jesus', 'converted', and been 'reborn in the blood of the lamb'. Seen too much schit like this ... she needs to be permanently deprived of further use of oxygen.

And yet WE as a people allow women and there doctors to murder millions of babys every year here . I don't see the dofference here between the two . Except this women is more than likely mentally ill . I also see the fault to be the studs fault who was watching out for safty of HIS children .
