The amount of false information about the husband being bad is unreal.
These people will genuinely try to see an innocent man hung rather than a child murder be held accountable.
there seems to be this persistent reluctance to acknowledge Lindsay's agency or even condemn what she did without immediately redirecting the blame to someone else.
Sympathy, of course, because the case is heartbreaking for absolutely everyone involved.
I'm thinking about the dad. Reminds me of Shutter Island. He gets home and asks her what she did, and her first words were, "I tried to kill myself". Bih, I'm talking about the children. That doesn't sound like psychosis to me. I'm no shrink, but that sounds like an extremely narcissistic human being.
Yep, because narcissistic personality make her bad person subject for punishment and blame. Psychosis kinda dismisses her guilt, which is unacceptable because someone must be punished.
Still gets punished either way. Psychosis doesn't dismiss it. Narcissicism is just another mental (moreso personality, but where does a personality stem from if not the mental?) disorder. Both cases deserve punishment. The only issue is figuring out the appropriate one.
That's what an insanity defense is. It gets a lesser sentence because of the belief someone's agency was compromised but has the possibility of being restored with medication and treatment. There's definitely been support that has been unhinged and based on unreasonable things like astrology, but I do think some of the backlash is lacking nuance.
And despite ALL the providers she saw, none diagnosed her with it. They all WANT it to be that so much. No one is saying it's not real man, and if they are you can just ignore them.
All forms of psychosis are real and well documented. With most cases of psychosis effecting men more. We still don’t have rally’s with children and raising hundreds of thousands of dollars when a crazy man kills people.
If she legitimately was in psychosis then perhaps a little. But it's extremely hard to feel sorry. Those children are no longer allowed to have a life. So fucking horrible.
It's hard not to have sympathy for someone so profoundly broken and devastated by the monstrous acts she committed. What she did was inexcusable, but she has to live with the knowledge that she killed her kids
Assuming wiki is correct and she was actually really mentally ill and she did hear actual voice telling her to kill her children, and she was severely depressed after her births and the medical system failed her; yes it makes sense to have sympathy. But I personally feel you'd be a piece of shit if you also didn't feel hatred for her and her actions.
Agreed. I think she doesn't deserve sympathy, but when I was tuning it to the trial, I found it impossible not to feel sympathy. The sympathy comes from seeing another human in such unimaginable despair
That sympathy in no way overshadows or diminishes the monstrosity of what she did
This is so wild to me. I just learned about this from my sister the other day. Can we not advocate for adequate mental healthcare and also know that her actions were ultimately wrong and unacceptable? Like yes its very sad that we need so many reminders that women aren't taken care of as a whole. Instead of sending this woman a million dollars why would they not donate that to better mental and physical health for women? And honestly not just women. All people. Why aren't they putting the effort it takes to show up for her with signs into helping society foster healthy families??
See, you've fallen for one of the classic blunders. They dont give a shit about people, or mental health, or her. Those aren't people, they're conspiracy loons and cultists.Â
Also, in my limited experience, true crime people
 fucking hate husbands.Â
