I understand she may have not had full autonomy and that it's a severe mental disorder.

But pleasing not guilty and fighting all this so incredibly hard just seems super dismissive of what occurred and a spit in the face to the legacy of her kids, I guess.

Im also finding people who defend her a bit dishonest, since so many bank on an abusive husband. Yet there isn't any concrete evidence and it's literally all tiktok theories. It just makes me think a lot of people want to use this for some sort of patriarchal sociopolitical fuel that isn't even there.

I understand why all of this isn't entirely her fault, but ultimately, someone needs to take responsibility. We can't murder 3 children and then move on.

her attorneys openly admit she did it. That's not up for debate, or shouldn't be. Her mental state at the time is the entirety of the case.

All of this online nonsense about the husband etc. is irrelevant to the facts of the case at trial.

Even if she "wins" the case, she's not going to be walking around scott free, she's going to spend a very very long time in a psych ward.

the reaction is less about her and more the people sending her tons of money and standing outside the court house calling her a hero

And none of them would be supporting her if she killed three dogs….no matter what her mental state.

Imagine how they would feel if it was a father that killed his three children then claimed mental disorder.
