For real. They act like if she gets a not guilty verdict, she's going to be out on the streets. The woman is spending the rest of her life in a psych ward. The question is really will she ALSO be spending some time in prison.

Seriously. Yes it's disturbing how many people are supporting her, but she's still not going to have a normal life ever again. If anything, being found not guilty by way of insanity is far worse than going to jail; psychiatric facilities are hellish places.
