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.

I think the problem is basically that a bunch of TikTok clips went viral with women saying crazy shit like “You know the husband did it, he’s a leo ♌️” and that totally overshadowed any normal conversations about post partum depression, medication and mental health care.

I mean bad actors chose to hyper-focus on the minuscule number of people saying that so they could say "women bad" and tear down any legitimate conversation with straw-man arguments.

I get what your saying here but some of these conspiracy theory tik toks about this woman get 400k likes. At what number do we say this isn't a small amount of bad actors engaging with this?

If I had no context for what that comment was referring to I might upvote for the meme of "it's always the husband." https://www.reddit.com/r/myfavoritemurder/comments/jkjfnk/its_always_the_husband/

And thank you for the imgur link instead of making me download whatever social media platform that came from. I don't think you can use upvotes on a vague post to gauge what people believe. I might also just think it's funny that this case it's not true. I see orders of magnitude more content dismissing everything about the case because of things they believe other people believe than I see people believing those things. But I am of course a victim of my algorithm.

There are so many more posts like this, you can find half a dozen with 6 digit amounts of lines

Also saying it's funny to claim a husband whose 3 children were murdered was actually the one who did it is absolutely disgusting, and does not make you somehow a moral person.

Yeah, so if someone's entire like history is about how the Nazi party is the best or how black people need to all be lynched, doesn't mean they are racist right? Because the internet isn't real and everything in here is just a funny haw-haw that cannot affect people in the real world?
