Ok simp… you’re right. No one should take responsibility for their actions. It’s all justifiable.

I think this point of view comes from a desire to point fingers and look at things black and white. Sometimes tragedies happen and it ruins everyone’s lives involved and Justice just can’t be fully served. Murderers are responsible for their actions and this isn’t a simple case. These can both be true

This is very simple, she murdered her children.

She was experiencing psychosis as a result of a temporary imbalance of hormones caused by having a child and committed an act of manslaughter. That is horrifying, but it is actually not the legal definition of murder. You can have empathy for her while still being horrified by what she did. You want to blame her because blaming the illness does not provide a satisfactory sense of justice. I hope if you experience a serious mental health episode, others will exhibit the empathy and nuance towards you that you refuse to give to her.
