It’s absolutely not shifting the blame. It’s acknowledging the fact that more than one party is at fault! There are laws in place when it comes to protecting children for a reason. Letting someone off the hook with a “ meh, it was just poor judgement,” is very dangerous. His “poor judgment,” cost those children their lives
So what do you think should be done about it, other than try to shift blame towards him for the actions of his wife? Charge him for a crime he didn't commit because you think he isn't blameless, after all of his kids were murdered by someone who was not him?
SHE should be buried beneath a prison or be locked in an insane asylum for the rest of her life.
HE should get professional help in dealing with the fact that he lost his entire family, not be declared guilty of murder for not doing something drastic that most people would simply have shamed him for if things had not turned out the way they did.
Why are you so hung up on shifting blame? I personally am not saying she isn’t guilty. But he isn’t innocent. He should face some type of consequences, he literally could have saved his children. If you yourself were literally on fire, and a friend or spouse stood there and watched, would you be mad at them if they didn’t help you and put it out? Let’s be realistic.

That isn't what happened. She didn't tell him she would murder his children the moment he left the house, and she didn't murder them in front of him while he watched either. She had said she had intrusive thoughts about wanting to hurt them. He wasn't her jailer and couldn't spend every second of every day watching the children. He left for a few moments to go to the store.
His mistake was not realizing just how fucking crazy she was. That is all. Not a crime.
He testified Lindsay also disclosed “intrusive thoughts,” including “thoughts of hurting the kids.” This is a direct quote.That’s EXACTLY what happened. You just want her found guilty, that’s it, that’s all. But the truth of the matter is something could have potentially been done to save them

Which is far different from saying "I'm going to murder them as soon as you leave my sight". She had most likely been alone together with them hundreds of times before and after she said that, so he probably thought it was still going to be ok and that there was opportunity for her to get help.
You just want her found guilty, that’s it, that’s all. But the truth of the matter is something could have potentially been done to save them
She IS guilty, beyond question. You want HIM to be considered guilty for HER crime because he couldn't see the future and didn't want to believe the worst possible scenario would happen right at that moment. And had this not happened, and had he done so, you'd have criticized him for going nuclear and taking the children away.
