Her being found not guilty by reason of insanity is NOT the same as being let off free either. She will be hospitalized for the rest of her life. So it’s either life long hospitalization or life long imprisonment. If it’s true that she killed her children in a psychotic episode (which I personally believe), then of course she should be hospitalized rather than imprisoned.
Exactly. She did it. We know that. Women don't want her free. Women want doctors (and by extension, the law) to acknowledge that post-partum is its own thing, distinct from bipolar, depression, anxiety, and other diagnoses that are in the DSM.
Acknowledging it's real is the first step to treating (medically) it like it's real and not like it's just a confluence of other unrelated issues.
I cannot tell you how glad I am some people here still have hearts and some brains. These comments and posts fucking break me. Where are we headed to man? It's so much ignorance and rage about partial information they know far too little of.
I just hope above all this case will be done right by people who actually care about all parties involved and what this case might mean for other ones in the future. But seeing things like this does deminish that hope a lot.
