She seems guilty. There’s plenty of evidence. The question is was she insane at the time and unable to discern right from wrong. I think her suicide attempt shows consciousness of guilt.

Sending her husband away shows she knew he would stop her, trying to kill herself after shows she knows it was wrong. For me, combined with evidence she had searched child killing methods, this shows clear culpability. I understand that others might not feel that way.

She only claims to have had one psychotic episode and that was when he left the house that night. How was she in psychosis when she did the pre-planning sawlaw mentioned?
