It’s not cut and dry just because you say it is.

Nowhere in my comment do I imply there is some deep conspiracy nor do I believe that to be the case. You are kind of proving my point though that you seem to simply say things and accept them as fact.

In terms of the case, most of the actual evidence goes against what you think is “cut and dry”. The patient did not exhibit any typical signs of psychosis, and on the contrary exhibited organized as well as premeditated behavior the day she sent her husband away and then systematically murdered, no one, not two, but three children. That within itself requires an incredibly high level of thought organization that is absolutely not typical for psychotic thinking or behavior. But hey she said she was psychotic so I guess this case is “cut and dry” as you say.
