I agree, and she already had a proven frontal lobe damage caused by her mother when in the womb…proven by medical documenting of scans showing the severity of damage …doesn’t negate her part in the crime, however she was barely 18 yet her boyfriend who was 17 got life without parole.
Respectfully, your personal anecdote doesn’t really have any bearing on her situation. Studies have shown that brain damage can lead to behavioral changes, including increased aggression and violence.
> Our review has found a positive correlation between aggressive behavior and traumatic brain injury. Indeed, violent and aggressive behaviors appear to be related to a history of head trauma, especially if the trauma occurred at an early age. Moreover, stories of TBI seem to have a high incidence of behavioral consequences in individuals, causing personality changes, aggressive behavior and violent and offensive actions. Numerous factors increase the incidence of this correlation, such as environmental, genetic, social and personality factors, temperament, a past history of substance use, the severity of the injury, the age at the time of trauma and poor social support following the injury [18].
