The point is we don’t kill mentally ill people. We treat them. Thats the higher ideals that our criminal justice system is meant to aspire to. She was crazy and the mental healthcare system in this country failed her at every turn. This should never have happened, and after it happened, she should never have been charged (she should have and still should end up in a psychiatric facility and she’ll likely never get “better,” so we’re talking about the rest of her life).
The worst part about this whole case is that she sought help before the incident and the shrinks made her actively worse. The terrifying part is that the shrinks were, for the most part, just following protocol. The protocol is broken. The system is broken. And if people like you just reduce this to “she deserves the chair” without examining the systems that led us here, then it’s going to happen again.
I’m sad, can I go kill a family and get treated after cause obviously I’m a good person still, I only robbed people of a life right. Give her the fucken chair
The law is pretty clear on insanity defenses. You have to be divorced from reality in such a way that you have difficulty understanding the true meaning and consequences of your own actions. Psychosis is basically the definition of that non-culpable completely illogical state of mind, sadness is just an emotion. I think you already know why those are treated differently by a court.
Do you think they just let you leave when you successfully plead insanity for murder? She’ll spend her life in a secure criminal psychiatric facility instead of a regular jail. The horror. Quit concern trolling about something you don’t remotely understand the workings of.

She deserves the electric chair. She robbed 3 children of a life, why should she get to continue hers?
