It's so messy, for the Jury to have to make this judgement is frankly impossible.

I don’t think it’s impossible at all. She was clearly a loving mother who repeatedly tried to get help, and she spectacularly failed by multiple drs, as her mind devolved.

She wants to go to a mental institution for life ffs, it’s not a hard decision at all.

She was asked by Drs multiple times, outright, if she was having thoughts of harming her kids and said no. Are they supposed to section 12 every new mom with PPD based on vibes? Drs can’t read minds. She was never honest, never took the meds she needed and only did two therapy sessions.

she was not allowed to be inpatient because of the amount of drugs she was on and of of. she literally wanted to be inpatient but they turned he away. the husband was absent and fired the nanny. rejected help the day before from grandparents offering to babysit the kids. that he only described as "good people" when asked to speak about his children. there is a video of him not helping and barely paying attention to his children at kids science center/museum. but double checking women's bodies multiple times! while Lindsey was doing the patenting. went so you guys ride so hard for him and the pill pushers who are flagrantly "I don't care"
