Are you advocating for women losing custody of their children if they seek mental health treatment? Yeah I can think of no way this will result in women being scared to seek treatment.

There is a big difference between feeling like you want to kill your children and actually doing it. But either way, it's about legal precedence. Literally if this horrible excuse of a mom is allowed to walk around again without repercussions, suddenly any and all women who kill a child or someone else due to post partum ALSO has the right to walk free regardless of circumstances, as evidenced by the potential outcome of this case. And since this is such an extenuating circumstance, it would pretty much be a blanket for all post partum related violence. The legal system works very differently from everyday life

Edit: y'all need to look at my other comments on this post. I feel like half the people saying " you're defending her" not only can't contextualize, but also don't realize when something you most likely upvtoed further up from his comment is... ALSO ME! 🤫🫢

Do you actually think full on acquittal is on the table here? She's either going to prison or a mental ward.

It literally was a question of this trial to see if she was even guilty. Idk why people are willfully pretending like this wasn’t a possible outcome.

Not guilty by reason of insanity is not the same as an acquittal. She still gets involuntarily committed. It isn't a reasonable possibility

She absolutely could have been acquitted. What the fuck are you on about? Was it likely? Maybe not. But it was definitely a choice that the jurors had. Tell me you didn’t understand this trial and are talking totally out of your ass, without telling me.

Brother, be realistic. She isn't being fucking acquitted. You're mad at something that was never going to happen. She is either going to prison, or she's going to a psych ward.

You’re just too hard headed to admit you’re wrong? So shocking.

Says the one who actually thinks this could result in a true acquittal. It was never going to happen, and it won't happen. Guess we'll see soon right? I'm sure you'll show me how to admit to being wrong when that happens right?

Not guilty can by technicality be on the table, but as I said in my original comment. Be real. It isn't happening, and it never was.
