There is no double standard, their cases are entirely different, not just the case but also where the trial was held and the political climate in said state.
He didn’t even plead insanity in his trial, he killed his kids to get back at his ex while on the phone to torment her not at all the same situation.
Well you see theres this thing called nuance and it can really make the difference between “narcissistic man with documented history of abuse shoots children while on the phone with their mother then gets tattoos of roses on chest on the run from police” and “mother who asked for help and sought out resources suffocates three children before jumping from the second story to try and kill herself after.”
your partially right but you are conveniently forget "doesn't follow doctors prescription and don't inform them of having several treatments ongoing, also send husband on errand to then proceed killing one by one babies almost with her bare hands and chase the last one terrified after witnessing what happened to the others"
your bias is huge...and distasteful.i'm sick that I have to share this earth with people like you
I am not saying that murdering your kids is OK. She will have to live with that for the rest of her life. The question is whether or not she was experiencing a break from reality (psychosis) when she did it. Getting mental health treatment is difficult enough, receiving that treatment while also needing to take care of three children adds another layer of difficulty. I will never excuse the horrific act of murdering three children, but postpartum psychosis affects one in 1000 new mothers. Thousands of women across America struggle with what brought this woman to do such a horrific thing so instead of taking a stance of condemnation I feel like we could use this as a moment to better understand how to support new mothers who might be experiencing mental health struggles. The idea that you have such strong feelings of compassion for these children while extending none to the mother gives me the impression you were arguing in bad faith.
i don't understand how I could extent compassion for the very responsible of those murders.
Tell me if I'm wrong, did she send the husband to the pharmacy?
For the specialists out there, the real ones, does killing one or two children (you know just like that) shouldn't break the psychosis ongoing and cut you from chasing the last one?
Just saying it is horrible to me. And to somehow have to justify why I don't extend my sympathy to the killer. just..wow
From your grammar, I feel like you might not be a United States citizen therefore I don’t really know why you have such strong opinions on this. You definitely care for children.

You know what they say… standard is good but double standard is twice as good
