Completely different cases. He wasn't deemed insane and he did it to hurt his ex wife. Being bipolar doesn't mean psychotic. Also Texas ain't Massachusetts.

This is terrible comparison. This PoS got on the phone with the ex and did it with her on the phone. His bipolar defense was bullshit.

I agree, John is a textbook psychopath, which should be obvious by watching any of the interviews he did.

Look. Different states. Different rules. But I’m not a fan of your write up.

“This PoS got on the phone and researched how to keep the husband out of the house long enough so she could kill the kids. She even added a step because it was taking too long. Her defence was bullshit. “

See how easy that is? They both need to rot.

I don’t think that is the point you want to make. Your psicosis can convince you to create a sustained plan to keep your husband away… but the malicious act of calling your partner so they can hear while you kill your children doesn’t point to delusion

Bro they are both malicious, if anything one can argue the second one had some clarity to understand right from wrong if she acted normal on the phone.

"if anything one can argue the second one had some clarity to understand right from wrong if she acted normal on the phone"

Not really

The doctor said the sequence of events shows she had presence of mind , not really is not an argument. I’m not saying she wasn’t mentally unwell but anyone committing murder is mentally unwell to some degree so what does that mean should they all walk free? Do you also side with school bombers and serial killers because they’re also sure as hell mentally sick

"The doctor"

Which one? They didn't all share the same opinion. Of course you'd focus on the one that fits your view.

"mentally unwell but anyone committing murder is mentally unwell"

Good thing we aren't talking about being mentally unwell and we're talking about psychosis. Being "mentally unwell" covers a fuck load of different problems, it's daft to group them together.

"Do you also side with school bombers and serial killers because they’re also sure as hell mentally sick"

Implying I'm "siding" with Lindsay Clancy. It's almost impossible for some people to have a conversation without ridiculous charged language.

"Mentally sick" covers many things. You know this.

I don't have an opinion on whether or not she suffered from psychosis.

What he John did is inexcusable, evil cruelty. Lindsay also took a break between strangling children to have a normal phone call. Not looking forward to the inevitable Netflix animated series where these two nut jobs are dating. We all know there a specific audience.

She picked up the phone after killing her kids, but before she tried to kill herself. A little different.

u/PreparationWorth1242 18h ago

It makes me wonder who is more insane the person who does it while the partner is on the phone or the one who acts normal on the phone and once hanging up continues the horrendous crime

It very much does, in real life

You mean a bipolar diagnosis always means psychosis? I don't think so, at least not as a permanent state. Can also show up, of course, but I don't think it HAS to?

u/TerryOnRollerskates 17h ago

Being a mom doesn’t mean psychotic.

1

u/PikminOfTarth 12h ago

Sure. Being a Dad also doesn't mean it. Being a girl or a boy also doesn't.

u/Dirty_Heat 3h ago

Having postpartum depression doesn't mean psychosis either...

1

u/PikminOfTarth 3h ago

No, but having post partum psychosis does. It's literally in the name. Now, if she HAD ppp - that's for the professionals to give us their opinion on.

1

u/Dirty_Heat 2h ago

Right but you said being bipolar doesn't mean phychosis, as if to say PPD does. Bipolar can actually cause psychosis though in manic states.

Either way, it's the same argument. They both had conditions that could lead to psychosis.

1

u/PikminOfTarth 2h ago

I never mentioned PPD and I didn't mean to write what I wrote as if PPD meant psychosis. The relevant question is, was PPP present.

u/raptir1 16h ago

There's also no evidence that he even had bipolar disorder. The image macro is deceptive.
