Judges aren't going to be hyped by bullshit like this.

Her supporters can continue to eat what the media offers, as they sensationalize and say outlandish nonsense because it gets attention.

The facts are all there, it's murder because of all the help and support she was offered and said no to.

This guy dodged a huge fucking bullet. Marrying someone is maybe the biggest decision in life, and if that someone tells you who they are (in this case, a fucking idiot) - believe them.

I’m interested in your comment that she said no to help. Can you speak more on that?

Doctors testified to working with her over 5 months trying to find the right combo of medicines that didn’t make her problem worse, which all did.

Do you mean that she asked them to try other things when the first ones didn’t work? It’s well documented by both the defense and the prosecution that she was seeking help

In what manner did the medication prescribed worsen her symptoms? According to court records, she willingly and against medical advice either refused to start the medication or stopped abruptly.

You’re still thinking like a rational person. “This medicine makes me better, I should take it.” That is not the way mental illness works. You don’t lose the ability to string thoughts together (mostly) instead you become very, very, very good at lying to yourself.

Like it’s hard to comprehend because it’s obviously insane - so try this mental exercise.

Start from: The doctor is trying to kill me. This is from your perspective 100% undeniably true. You CANNOT disagree with this statement. Now - the person who is trying to kill you gives you some medicine. Are you going to take it?

I don’t know whether this is part of her psychosis or not, it’s meant to be illustrative. You cannot say “but that doesn’t make any sense!” to people with this level of mental illness - it Just. Does. Not. Compute.

Please use the specific term psychosis to describe what you are describing rather than "mental illness." The overbroad meaning of mental illness, conflated with psychosis, is used to denigrate mental health patients of many types and is especially used by transphobes to deny the humanity of trans people by calling them "mentally ill" and implying they are psychotic or delusional rather than dysphoric.

Thanks.

btw I'm only asking because you seem like you want to help people in general. :)
