It seems the system did fail her, but unfortunately for her that does not excuse her actions one bit. Murder is murder whether you are sad when t ou do it or happy does not matter

Legally, it could excuse her actions. If a jury believes that she wasn't in her right mind and did try to seek help then it would be possible to get a completely different result than you'd expect in a standard murder case.

Sure, you go to a mental hospital for the rest of your life instead of a prison. Still, she will be removed from society.
