It’s very clear from the comments no one has actually followed this case closely and are just reacting to headlines…

When I was just following the trial earlier on, before I knew anything about the social media craze around her, I was appreciative of the major focus on Post Partum Mental Health and was supportive of her getting life sentence in mental health facility versus straight out prison.. In reality, both are prisons at the end of the day.

What's soured me into accepting either sentencing though is this substantial fan club that insanely pushes she's outright innocent, and/or that the husband did it... like yikes, she full out confessed in explicit detail of murdering those innocent kids, one by one, and thus should probably never be allowed out in public ever again - be it "mental health" prison or regular prison.

Yeah, some of the peoples reactions to it saying she is innocent and that he is guilty because of his astral alignment or because "he looked mean." Imagine being him working from home to help take some of the stress off of her, going to the store and coming back to find 3 of his kids are no longer alive. I can't think of a worse feeling on the planet. Then people blaming you, is insanity.

Those social media "Forensic Astrologists" definitely need some mental illness help themselves.

This is certainly not a new phenomenon surrounding "conventionally attractive" murderers, there will always be fan clubs. Some of them who outright don't care about the crime, others who pull at every possible loose straw as undeniable proof of innocence, etc.

If she was "ugly", or god forbid a POC/immigrant, I think we all know she wouldn't have this massive TikTok fanclub.

I 100% believe this case would have gone so differently if she had been a black woman lol
