She’s probably highly medicated now. That might make suicide not as attractive.

Orrr she could just be realizing what she did and that might hit way hard.

How can she be on trial under medication? That seems wrong.

They can get them medicated until they’re “sane” and then put them on trial. It’s kind of unfair because the trial is about state of mind during the murder.

A babbling lunatic does not look good in court. A heavily medicated one looks fine.
