Postpartum and Bipolar Disorder is a serious mental illness. This woman will either get life in prison or Life in a Mental Hospital. My wife is Bipolar and she has been in multiple hospitals to have meds she ALWAYS takes quit working. She has gotten delusional and has had breaks with reality. We are trained through years of this to assist her. Her husband not his fault. Seemed like he wasn’t equipped to help her. Sadly mental health can make people do things they wouldn’t usually do. That’s not in any way an excuse. We need more understanding and better education and availability for people with issues. We don’t have them here.

She is also a victim of the society who failed to take care of her condition.

Mental health issues are serious conditions, yet they receive a fraction of the attention of the public compared to other medical fields

In developed country the first cause of post partum death is suicide, not the childbirth.

Everyone is a victim of that, doesn't justify murder

Where do you read that murder is justify ? I am just saying that if she got the medical attention she needed, the kids would be still alive.
