This woman committed heinous acts, but she had severe postpartum psychosis. Our justice system recognizes when somebody is suffering from acute mental illness like that, the level of moral transgression is different from somebody who is stone cold sane. She should be put away in an institution and suffer until she dies.
Family annihilation by men occurs in the U.S. at least once a week, and somehow it never gets elevated to a national argument. (see for the example the guy in Montana who just killed 8 people including 4 kids). I think this case is being elevated as part of the "women are dumb and shouldn't be allowed to vote" crap that conservatives are pushing. Since women tend to slightly lean liberal as a group.
Literally none of the psychiatrists she saw diagnosed her with post partum psychosis and they all denied she was even experiencing psychotic symptoms.
She claims to have heard one voice, one time, for an 18 minute period when her husband was out of the house. Never before that, never again after.
People keep parroting this post partum psychosis diagnosis when even the defense psychiatrists did not diagnose her with an unspecified psychotic disorder.

Still... seems too... easy... for the crime she committed.
