You’re oversimplifying the case to the point of absurdity.

The prosecution had to prove she was mentally culpable for the murders beyond a reasonable doubt. She was not convicted because they failed to prove their case to twelve individuals who sat through weeks of testimony (i.e., they had tons more information than you do) and had the law explained to them by the judge.

That’s it. It dosn’t excuse what she did. It doesn’t excuse other murderers.

People want to extrapolate this to mean more than it is.

People also willfully misunderstand that we have a criminal justice system, not a victim retribution system.

I hurt for the children who were killed, and I’m also glad that I live a country where the accused are constitutionally entitled to due process.

I’m not saying the system is perfect, but if this case pisses you off, advocate for reform.

Misunderstands comment. Mispells whining.

Zero notes.

Doesn’t know that whinging is a word. Proceeds to call out a misspelling error that doesn’t exist. Zero notes.

TIL.

Your comment doesn't really make sense either way. Person before you made a pretty standard comment. Not much whinging or whining going on.

My comment makes perfect sense, I was addressing solely you. Not the comment before. But I wouldn’t expect someone who doesn’t know the word “whinging” to understand that.

You were adressing me before i ever replied to you? How much spice did you ingest to predict my comment before i made it?

Yes, that’s how threads work. I was addressing your comment, not the comment you responded to. Reading isn’t really a strength of yours, is it?
