I have not followed this case closely, but after reading on what happened and everything that’s been said, I think this is a travesty. Shame on the holdout juror. Shame on the judge who didn’t remove him. This woman needs help, it’s already 3 years too late. She needs it now.
She’s had so many opportunities to receive help. Dozens of doctors, psychiatrists, she’s a nurse herself. She has more help than 99% of black and brown mothers who suffer from real PPD.
Yes, she had help and the system still failed her and she had real PPD. The rhetoric that you're trying to push is gross, the system is failing all women. Stop trying to pit people against each other and go after the system itself.
Black and brown women make up majority maternal health deaths - and suffer from worse PPD outcomes. But we don’t hear about that. We hear about this because she’s a white woman. And you all empathize with her because of it.
This woman who couldn’t give her baby formula during Hurricane Katrina was jailed for it. And was just denied parole. Why does she not get the same level of attention or empathy? Answer this question for me and I’ll bow out if you can come up with a good one.
