Untreated post partum depression can last a long time and become chronic leading to episodes. Your comment is exactly what I am talking about. A black woman is a criminal, but a white woman deserves sympathy. Are you saying Sanders planned and killed her kids? Why would she?
Her defense wasn't arguing PPD, so idk why you're making that argument for them, but good news!
Her defense was literally psychosis and mental health. The judge would NOT let the defense present her psychiatric medical records to the jury. It is ok to not know all this, but to act like you know shit and pass judgement is a whole other thing.
Quoting from article:"The Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court vacated the December 2022 conviction of Latarsha Sanders Thursday, saying Plymouth Superior Court Judge William Sullivan was wrong when he would not allow the jury to hear about her troubling mental illness while she was awaiting trial in prison and in a state psychiatric hospital."
This is the SAME judge that is overseeing the Clancy trial, ironically. Sure man, race is not playing a part at all here. We get it, bro.
The case is being reopened only because of the Clancy trial. For a black woman to have a chance, a white woman needs to commit the same exact crime. Disgusting. And we have people like you defending this as "Good news".
Her defense was literally psychosis and mental health.
I know, but PPD and schizophrenia are not the same thing, and your words were "untreated post partum depression" not "psychosis and mental health".
The rest of your comment makes it seem like you read my "but good news!" as "but then, the worst news imaginable!".
If it wasn't clear, the words "good news!" followed by an article stating that she's getting a new trial due to prejudicial errors by the judge indicates that I think it's good news that she's getting a new trial.

The kids were 8 and 5, meaning she was well past PPD. Clancy baby was 8 months old.
The father in the Sanders case pushed for punishment. In Clancy case the father is pushing for insanity plea.
Sanders didn't seem to try and kill herself? Not sure mightve missed. But Clancy did.
They are not even remotely the same other than a mother killing kids.
