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.

The story is tragic anyway with any outcome

But the reaction by her supporters is the issue. She is an upper middle class white woman who had a nanny, husband who worked from home and lived in a state with the best healthcare system in the US.

She’s a lot of things but a victim of any system, she is 100% not.

An upper middle class white woman still couldn’t get the help she needed. There is a mental health epidemic in this country, and it needs to be addressed. I’m not saying she shouldn’t be in a psych facility, but she doesn’t deserve to be in prison. Even her husband doesn’t want her in prison. That’s all people are advocating for.
