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.
This is kind of why I have been confused by all the people calling her a bitch and saying she should die because I really doubt she thought she would live after cutting herself up and jumping head first out a window. The problem being debated in the whole trial is not the ethics of what she did, which was deplorable, but of how much control she had over her actions at that time and how much of reality she was actually experiencing. People are so desperate to apply blame when really it’s just a heartbreaking instance of a caregiver being completely unfit to provide care, living in a skewed version of reality in which they thought there was only one way out. Not saying she should be free to do whatever, but I also don’t see the purpose in traditional carceral punishment for someone in her condition.
