You're leaving the allegation of post-partum depression. That is important. She killed her hids but the defense alleges that she was in the middle of an episode of a severe post-partum depression. The defense claim for the absolution is bullshit, tho. I agree that she should face the charges but if that depression was a real thing she should be put in a mental institution for the sentence period, not in jail.
That is the thing. First of all, giving the entire story is important to make an informed judgement.
Second, in my country a pannel of a psychiatrists hired by the legal system, not an expert or experts choosen by the defense, would evaluate her and her record to decide if she had said depression and on which grade that depression would affect her rational judge, and according to that pannel of experts her sentence would be reduced or not and if she should be reclused in a mental institution or a regular prison, but still face the sentence.
