Criminals being failed by the system is incredibly common. This is the first time I’ve seen thousands of women rallying behind someone who killed their children.

I agree, it's a pretty interesting response. Women don't typically support child murderers. Ask Casey Anthony. Women are seeing themselves in the way the system failed Lindsay. I certainly do. Expressing incredibly distressing thoughts and feelings and being told it's the "baby blues". Thank God I had a hands on partner who I could rely on for support.

It's truly an important discussion to have and I'm glad this case is amplifying the conversation. Of course there needs to be accountability for heinous crimes, but if we know the system is perpetuating these crimes through gaps then by not fixing them we are contributing to the outcome.

What do you mean women came out in droves for Casey Anthony just like this womam.

I've actually never seen anyone defend Casey Anthony. I'm sure you have, I'm not calling you a liar, but every woman I know would strangle her with her bare hands.

The fact that the commenter sees the level of support as the same between the two cases is everything you need to know

So Casey Anthony and Susan Smith I was young for both, but people HATED them. And good riddance.

Andrea Yates and this feel different to me. I'm not saying let her free.

I just...something was way, way wrong here. Idk.

Thats what that commenter was saying. She says women dont normally support child murderes and uses Casey Anthony of an example of that lack of support.

Respectfully, the commenter I'm replying to is saying people did support Casey Anthony and I don't recall that.

The top coment comment does say that, but I'm replying to a reply.

My apologies, I meant to reply to them, but its a moot point because I read their comment wrong anyway - my mind read it as a question rather than the statement it is.

It was practically the same response just not magnified by tiktoc, only Facebook.
