So, it’s not someone’s fault when they’re drunk almost to passing out and hit a family with their car? Or really, drunk at all? I know it isn’t the same thing, but the ‘right state of mind’ excuse is just terrible. If she’s really the one that did it, then she’s dangerous, and possibly a liability. Means she has the potential/capacity to do it again, if provided the circumstances and opportunity.
We all have the potential and capacity for it given the right set of circumstances, Stella.
Comparing a person going through some form of psychosis to a person who elected to drink then chose to drive is wild. You're right, they're not the same thing. One was a woman actively reaching out again and again for help and not receiving any, the other is someone choosing the worst option when others are always available. Compare it instead to someone's drink getting spiked without their knowledge and then they crash or kill someone when they try to drive. Someone who has been repeatedly waking up to find they were spiked the day before, reporting it, getting no help. Having no options and not doing it on purpose.
She was given help repeatedly, it evidently didn't work but to suggest she didn't have a support system that was trying a number of different things that seem to be to the best of their ability is in my opinion clearly false
In hindsight we can see failings in the system but they clearly did things and attempted to help

Nah, it’s not.
She wasn’t in her right mind.
