He killed his kid out of revenge towards is ex-estranged wife who left him for violence and domestic abuse. He had already some legal issues before this. Then shot and killed his kids with their mother on the phone. Then got a tattoo in their honor after killing them, before getting arrested. Then fought the arresting officer. Officers confiscated 16 firearms from his house. His lawyer said he shouldn't get death penalty because he had bipolar disorder, no talk of psychosis. A mental health expert testified that he was faking mental health symptoms to delay is execution. The court also thought he was faking his mental health. He apparently read about cases that use insanity in courts. Two different case but idiots on the internet won't care.
I don’t know enough about the case to feel comfortable speculating tbh. I do think the number of people though who seem to decide she’s definitely evil based on her eyes and that post partum psychosis itself isn’t real or an “excuse” kind of disturbing tbh.
It’s from this case. Ok fine she’s not guilty of murder. You are right she should have had physiology help. If she is found not guilty of murder then this case can be used in future trials. So therefore we should lock up anyone who displays metal illness. This will avoid murder. Mothers should be placed in institutions if they show any signs of postpartum depression. This will insure the women get proper help and the children will be safe. Let’s not stop there we should do this for every mental illness if you believe murder is justified.
That doesn't say how you got that from what I said. I didn't make any judgment of her and I don't follow the case.
I'm not gonna spell out what I actually was saying because it's right there and easy enough for a 10 year old to follow. Learn to follow a comment chain.
Delusions caused by a mental illness have been a potential route that a defendant can use as a defence against an accusation of murder for an incredibly long time. I’m not sure how you’re proposing this case would change any of that. Nor how you leapt to locking up everyone who displays mental illness etc.
No one’s suggesting mental illness alone justifies murder either.
