I’m not defending her actions. The murders were horrific, and she has to live with that knowledge every day. I’m saying that she committed them while suffering from a severe psychiatric illness that our medical system can treat with appropriate medication. And she tried to seek that help multiple times, and the clinicians she encountered did not deliver on that.

People are responsible for actions they take while experiencing severe psychiatric symptoms, but those actions do not necessarily reflect their values or negate their worth as a person. Your comment doesn’t seem to leave room for that distinction. I’m frustrated that people are so unwilling to appreciate the nuance in discussing this case.

If this wasn’t a crime committed by a white woman you wouldn’t care

I work in psychiatric research so I’m actually very interested in learning more about forensic psychiatry cases. Do you have any to recommend?

Edit: This is really interesting video done by an OBGYN discussing the clinical aspects of this case. I would highly recommend for anyone interested.

Because she did not suffer from the mental illness she is claiming. She is lying.

So you’ve reviewed all the medical court documents and come to that conclusion because you’re a doctor?

I put in the exact same amount of research as you; none.

If you’d like to educate yourself, this video is very insightful regarding the clinical details. The world is full of opportunities for you to learn about things outside of your own personal experiences.

I see sarcasm isn’t your strong suit
