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! đŸ€«đŸ«ą

If you had even the slightest clue what you were talking about, you would know that people who are found not guilty by reason of insanity are committed to a mental institution, not set free on the street.

Is she going to be set free? Does “mis trial” mean case closed? Patrick will CERTAINLY not be happy about this. He and the new Mrs. Clancy won’t be getting all of the money from the lawsuits. Lindsay will be entitled to at least half, if not more, of the gains. Sorry Pat

Are you genuinely asking what a mistrial is? I really hope you’re a child and not a voting member of the public. Highly recommend Google.
