Camacho says co-conspirator has tried to keep contact
GATESVILLE - Angela Camacho doesn't hold back the tears as she speaks about what's happened.
NEWSCHANNEL 5 reporter Mireya Villarreal asks, "Did you ever stab one of the kids?"
Camacho answers, "No. I didn't. I swear to God."
She says she didn't kill her kids, but she didn't do anything to stop her husband from killing them either.

Camacho says in June of 2005, she heard voices convincing her that she was a bad person and didn't deserve to be free.
"It seemed so real," she says.
Angela tells NEWSCHANNEL 5, she was confused during the plea bargaining, but she did understand entering a guilty plea meant she'd be spending the rest of her life in prison.
But she says without her children, being free doesn't matter.
"Ya no quire in la libre... no quiria a fuera... libre... pro que mis hijos no estan vivos. No estan in mi vida," says Camacho.
She says being in jail is a blessing. She's now working to improve her life.
"I'm trying to get my GED. Something in me changed, you know. I want to be different. Even though I have a life sentence, I want to be different," she says.
Camacho tells NEWSCHANNEL 5 she doesn't love John Allen Rubio anymore, even though he's tried to keep in contact.
He's written dozens of letters since his conviction in 2003. She says his letters make getting better harder on her.
"He told me a lot of crazy things too, that he dreamed with me, that I have the devil. That my babies have the devil," she says.
She does say she prays every night, asking God to help her forget John Allen Rubio and to forgive her for being a bad mother.
Camcho tells us she prays God will let her into heaven to be with her kids.
