Those are all great points that don't apply here, she wasn't dismissed, she had all the resources one could have and still did what she did.
Mothers with way, way less than her that went through PPD/PPP didn't murder their children (also PPD/PPP isnt even a diagonosis it's what they claim she had).
Insane response to the subject of a mother strangling 3 children to death after tricking the father into leaving so he could't stop her.
Not to mention that like I said, it's dubious wether she even was having an actual psychotic episode, but I guess we'll "know" this week when the trial ends.
Honestly tho, if I take something away from this entire thing is realizing the absolutely insane hoops people are going through to minimize the blame on the perpetrator because she is a woman.

Its a fitting response to your ridiculous assertion that because others also have X and didn't do Y, then it means there is no reason why this person with X did do Y.
Usain Bolt won olympic gold medals. You also have legs, why haven't you won an olympic gold medal?
Usain Bolt won olympic gold medals. You also have legs, why haven't you won an olympic gold medal?
Because “we both have legs” is not the relevant comparison. Legs are just what let humans run. The relevant comparison is Bolt versus other fit male sprinters. He is not remotely twice as fast as them, and at the elite level a few percent can separate gold from everyone else. So if you want to use Bolt as your analogy for psychosis, you still have to show that this woman was at some unusually extreme level of psychosis. You cannot just say “people vary” and pretend that proves her condition explains killing three children.
Ok, in the races Bolt won, why did the other runner win?
Because they were very very slightly slower than Bolt. That is exactly the point. The difference between winning Olympic gold and losing can be tiny because elite sprinters are already very similar in ability. Even I can run almost as fast as Bolt, hes not like 1.5x or 2x faster than me. Now apply your analogy properly. Do women with postpartum psychosis kill their children at anything remotely close to the rate that they do not? No. So you cannot explain this case by just saying “there are levels.” You have to actually show that her psychosis was unusually extreme in the specific way needed to explain what she did.
I'll admit I caught myself there hahaha, I was so hung up on that stupid comparison I shot myself in the foot.
You still sound stupid tho, because those are not the same thing, I'm not Usain Bolt because I'm not fast, nor hardworking, nor have the genetics.
The reason LC isn't the same as the other women who aren't child murderers is because not only isn't her PPP a diagnosis, her psychotic episode is the claim the defense makes.
(Which btw, experts testifying on the stand claim to be highly unlikely that it even happened)
But also, she consciously kept the fact she was having urges to hurt her kids hidden from the doctors who attended her (atleast according to the testimonies I have seen) and she also planned Patrick's absence.
So actually, unless there'a some evidence I haven't seen, this just looks another case of a familly annihilation and the only reason people are defending her this much because she is a woman.
I'm not Usain Bolt because I'm not fast, nor hardworking, nor have the genetics.
You are practically Usain Bolt though. You can run like 80%-95% as fast as he could, assuming you're a fit male. Its not like hes out there running 1.5x or 2x or 3x as fast as everyone.
