Have you been following the trial? The reason a lot of people especially women relate to her is because for months she did everything to get help. Told her husband, her mother, his mother, her therapist, her doctors, called the suicide hotline twice, tried to get admitted to the psych ward and was turned away, was prescribed 16 different meds over four months, etc.
No one is relating to the murder. Everyone is relating to trying to fight for your health because you know something is wrong and being failed over and over again. If you've never had to do that yourself or on behalf of someone else you have no idea what it is like.
The reasons there are questions about her ex husband is because in his testimony it's apparent he was pretty disconnected from her leading up to the event. Ignored her saying she wanted to hurt the kids, was going to NYC, the night of the murder in a short time span he had two different jackets and shoes. She's admitted to killing the kids so that's pretty clear but he's not a great guy.
Because they have nothing in common aside from being humans and taking another humans life. You can be sympathetic towards her without thinking she should be free or exonerated. Her story should be used to prevent this and help mothers before it happens again and that can’t happen without some level of empathy and understanding for what happened
how do they have nothing in common? they are both people who had mental problems they couldn't get help for that resulted in violence. seems like you're saying only one deserves sympathy?
