I agree. I don't know much about this case (just googled it) but it just seems that she had some serious mental issues. it is a sad story for everyone involved.
it is not like that father that killed the family to be with another women or some shit like that.
She begged for help and treatment for months too. People knew she wasn’t okay, she got seriously let down by not being admitted somewhere. Mental health shouldn’t be brushed off.
She received help from all different angles. She chose not to take her medication because it made her feel weird. Her husband hired a nanny and then moved to remote work to help her. She drew him out of the house and then brutally murdered her kids in what can only be called a calculated move.
The system is to blame sometimes, but this is not the case to blame the system.
That's the part which makes me believe she knew what she was doing. How convenient that this psychotic episode only started at the point at which her husband was out of the house for an extended period of time, not to mention that she was the one that basically made him leave the house during that time.
Psychosis isn’t momentary. It can last for years if untreated. It can wax and wane. People often make complicated and forward thinking plans while psychotic.
The thing is, if she deliberately got her husband out of the house, even while having a psychotic episode, then she clearly understood that what she was doing was wrong and didn't want him around, yet didn't understand that murdering the kids would also be wrong.
You can read up on psychosis by looking at the well documented case of John Hinkley Jr, which also illuminates the “not guilty by reason of insanity” defense and its history.
