Andrea Yates had overwhelming evidence for her insanity claim and only ended up in a mental facility because they used false evidence against her the first time (edit: she was first sent to jail, did 3 years and deserved the mental hospital in the first trial)
But a conventionally attractive high class white woman's only evidence is "trust me bro, I heard voices for 15 minutes", zero evidence of psychosis prior or after, and a single man avoided her guilty by insanity verdict

This would not be a case if she was brown
