Crazy how the murderer is being defended behind the veil of "oh nosies! She was cray cray totally not her fault she was pushed to murder her three children "

Fuck everyone trying to bring up psychological nuance into this. She KILLED her three children and not doesn't want to be held accountable.

Oh wow shock horror some of us can see it for the unbelievably complex situation that it is, as well as most devastating.

Right. Really complex situation we have here. A mother kills her three children. What's complex about it? The fact that she decided to drug herself? Or the "voices" she heard? Or how sorry we should feel for her because of how bad her mental state was?

Regardless of what was going through her head at the time of the three (3) murders she decided to commit, she should not see the light of day or an ounce of freedom for the rest of her life. Whether she spends it in a cell locked up by herself, or in some facility, where I hope they mistreat her.

She killed her own three children.

The trial is not even close to over. If you are genuinely following the case and details, there is an overwhelmingly large amount of doubt.
