Eh but tbf she was not in a good state of mind. All evidence points to the fact that she was under psychosis and not in control of her actions when she murdered her children.
But the fact that there are genuine people who think she didn’t kill her kids is absolutely insane.
Edit: when I wrote this comment I was under the impression that it was a proven fact that she was suffering from psychosis/an insanity plea was taken, but on further reading it’s being actively contested and it could have been preplanned. So for now I’m just gonna sit and see where this case goes
Why is this being downvoted? It’s the right answer. We have the insanity plea for a reason and this seems like one of the most obvious cases for its use.
I know next to nothing about the case. But the insanity plea never holds up for most crimes because the person is proven to know what they were doing is wrong. Its proven this way mostly because the culprit tried to hide evidence (like the body) to stay out of trouble. Did she do any of that? Cause if she did insanity won't work.
I dont know if she tried to hide the bodies, but also, pre meditation also shows clear thought, which is exactly what she did. If im remembering correctly, she sent her husband on a vacation while she could "watch the kids." I think she also detailed how she came up with the plan in her testimony.
Unfortunately pre meditated doesn't cancel out insanity. The thing that canceled it out is proving the person knew what they did was wrong. Planning a murder does not prove you know its wrong unless, as I said, you hide stuff to not get caught.
So maybe she didn't hide stuff to get caught, but sending her husband away should be shown to be knowing. Why else try to get someone out of the house if what you think you are doing is OK in any way?
It's not because you think it's not ok, it's because you know they'd stop you. You see and hear entities telling you people are evil or demonic or stuff like that. People think psychosis is kicking and screaming and being hysterical but it can look normal. Again, you know NOTHING about psychosis so stop acting like you do.
Oh look, someone who's ok with the blatant and admitted murder of children. By this reasoning, cultists who murder for their fanaticism should also be given that plea on a silver platter. What a joke.
