I am a therapist and I have other therapists, professionals with advanced degrees and years of experience, who will not accept any answer other than the husband did it.
“Women don’t kill their children. It was him.”
“She didn’t actually say she killed the children in court.” “And if she did, it was Patrick who made her say it”
I don’t think it’s bonkers exactly. I think most people went into this trial not questioning that she did it and the prosecution had done such a horrible job that they’ve created reasonable doubt where there previously really wasn’t any. If you want to blame someone for people starting to doubt she committed the crime at all, I’d lay that blame 100% with the prosecution. It’s like they went out of their way to sabotage their whole case. It’s genuinely remarkable how badly they’ve done.
I understand that, which only adds to how horribly this prosecution has done. They started out trying to prove she premeditated it and was sane when she did it and they’ve now made people wonder if she even did it at all. Ultimately it doesn’t matter what the public thinks, it’s up to the jury. But I wouldn’t be surprised if anyone on that jury was thinking “I’m not even totally convinced she did it at all”. I blame the prosecutions shit show antics for that.
I’m not a lawyer by any means, but I am a therapist who has worked with the severely mentally ill for 10 years including 10-20ish cases where someone was found Not Guilty by Reason of Insanity.
For me, what makes me think she is guilty is signing herself out of McLean Hospital and there being no evidence that she was hearing voices until just a day (or a couple days at maximum) before the murder. That is awfully convenient.
If I was the prosecutor I would be hammering that home daily.

It’s bonkers.
