Marina discovered her children's bodies stacked in the bathtub.
She told the hearing that she came home to a quiet apartment, darkened but for the light in the back bathroom, where she found the children and Ortega, who had stabbed herself in a failed suicide attempt.
Ortega told the New York city court "My life is in the hands of God", after she was found guilty of murder.
