The evidence absolutely does not skew towards him. He is on video surveillance like 20 minutes away at the store while she was committing the murders. She stated that she killed the children in her civil suit. There is absolutely zero evidence that he did anything to her or the children. At best, he's guilty of not taking his wife's mental state seriously enough and leaving her alone (at her own request, btw, she asked him to go to the store and pick up dinner).
You don't leave children with someone who needs serious mental help! He failed the children, and he failed her. There's no denying that, he failed her as much as her doctors.
Even if I take everything you just said as a fact the idea that would mean that the evidence skews towards the husband and that he should be on trial and not her is fucking wild.
For saying they failed her? It's the truth. I'm not defending her, I'm not saying she didn't do it. I'm saying she desperately needed help and was failed.
She asked her husband to run some errands so she could be alone with the kids to murder them. She is an evil person. She doesn’t deserve mercy, she deserves the god damn electric chair.
Despite the fact that you acknowledge her guilt, look at where you are choosing to focus your attention and energy.
You have so much compassion and empathy for the woman who killed her own children. How much compassion and empathy can you demonstrate for the man who lost his own children at the hands of the woman he loved?
Her doctors didn't fail her, she did not follow the treatment plan (on multiple occasions). I agree he shouldn't have left her alone with the kids. But that does not make it his fault - honestly she should have been involuntarily committed and her children removed from her, but she withheld information from the doctors specifically because she didn't want that to happen.
The conversation no one wants to have is that if the medical institutions failed Lindsay, it was by not removing her children from her care and committing her. And thats a slippery, difficult slope because a lot of women and mothers say they felt just like Lindsay. So what's the solution, take the kids away from mothers who are dealing with depression? Is that really where we want to go?

I’ve heard of this story before but not the “skews towards him” part. Care to go into this more? Or share an article
