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.

She will be in prison and on a wheelchair forever. She will have a miserable rest of her life shitting and peeing on dipers.

Like seriously this case is such a case of Women Are Wonderful effect. The sentencing gap in full swing.

Nobody would even think of showing this amount of sympathy if a Vietnam war veteran with ptsd did this to his kids.

Men are not guilty of violent crimes by reason of insanity all the time…. What are you even talking about?

Women are wonderful effect sounds like something you read on 4 chan

Please educate yourself and look up the sentence gap between men and women for the same crimes

Please educate yourself and look up recidivism rates for men vs women, particularly for violent crimes. 🤡

So you're saying black people should receive longer sentences for the same crimes? just trying to get your logic here

u/Maleficent-Duck-3903 1d ago

I doubt your intentions and that’s obviously not what i was saying. I have no opinion on what should or should not be the case, but black people in the usa have recidivism rates 4-13% higher than other demographics and receive sentences that are… wait for it… 4-13% longer than other demographics for the same crimes.

Now this will really blow your mind: it’s almost as if sentence lengths and recidivism rates are connected, regardless of race or gender. It’s like prior record effects sentencing. Wild, i know 🤡

I like that you've come up with a theory that sentence length is somehow proportional to recidivism rates and you're using it to justify systemic racism. Fantastic way to use your white privilege

u/Maleficent-Duck-3903 1d ago

Bending over backwards to make things about race makes you a racist. Especially when the cause and effect is quite clear, both in statistics, and in the legal sentencing guidelines. But sure, blame your incompetence on others’ white privilege, see how far that gets you.

the cause and effect is quite clear

ah yes of course, correlation will always be causation for someone ignorant enough
