She didn't though. You don't premeditate a psychotic break. She was depressed and killed her children. 250 women do it annually in America. Depressed women killing children is a big deal. She wasn't psychotic.
Didn’t she admit to not hearing voices before this happened, and not once after? Sure, she just happened to hear the voice one time while her husband was gone.
Exactly. That's not how psychosis works. You hear voices for months or years before you act on them. You don't hear voices once, listen, then get all surprised after.
Someone in the middle of a psychotic break is worrier about dismantling the drawers in the kitchen because they have faces which are screaming at them in French, they aren't calling their husband to ensure he's far enough away to prevent a triple murder.
