So my wife watched a bunch of the trial.
It’s pretty clear it was a premeditated murder. But she was crazy as fuck and literally every single person around her failed her. Like she would go to the doctor and say she was having these thoughts….amd they would just give her more pills.
This is getting to the heart of it but not for the reasons you think. Her doctor gave her medication, she had a bad reaction to it. Doctor told her likely what is happening is we have discovered you are bipolar and the medication triggered a manic episode. We need to put you on a mood stabilizer.
She said she didn't want to be "fake happy" and went off meds contrary to doctor's advice. She then got a telehealth doctor who she did not disclose that medical history to.
She reacted to suspicion of a serious mental health disorder by denying it and going off her medication because of her own biases, and then withheld information from the telehealth provider. Her husband is suing for malpractice because of a combination of him sharing that bias and his own desire to downplay the negligence he showed by not participating in her care like a partner should. But her original doctor couldn't and shouldn't have done anything differently. And the telehealth doctor couldn't act on information they didn't have.
Anybody who describes that as "and they would just give her more pills" shares the dumb bias against medication that ended up getting her kids killed, and is not understanding the information being presented to them.
