          She killed her kids and has been in a very high-profile murder trial. 11 of the 12 jurors wanted to find her not guilty due to her mental state, but the last one held out and there was a mistrial. There’s some other stuff going around about the holdout juror and it’s a huge fucking mess, and we don’t yet know what’s happening next. There’s a hearing tomorrow that’s gonna be a shitshow.

      She had a severe case of postpartum psychoses and killed her kids. Went to trial and was found not guilty by every juror except a woman hating wife beater even though he admitted to having reasonable doubt, which lead to a mistrail.

      It’s a very shitty meme that makes fun of a woman’s tragedy.

        Lmao The case is well documented. She wasn’t in psychosis. She went on the phone mid murder spree like everything was all right. Put her in a jail and throw the key

        A woman’s tragedy? The fuck? She strangled her three children to death. I don’t give a shit what circumstances led to it. The tragedy is the kids who were murdered and everyone who knew and loved them.

        It’s terrible that she couldn’t get the help she needed. That doesn’t make her the victim.

          Yeah, funny thing about that: per the Wikipedia article on the case, there were no fewer than three attempts at inpatient care for her, one discharged her, one she refused and the third she checked herself out of.

            Multiple doctors passed her around and all tried to prescribe her different medicines without coordinating with one another, and none of them really took her postpartum depression symptoms as seriously as they should have.

          If you had a heart attack while driving and so got into an accident and your children in the car were killed but you survived, are you a victim?

              She had a medical condition that caused it. Just because you’ve never had such a condition doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. The world is bigger than your experience. If you can imagine yourself having a heart attack forcing your body to stop driving and kill your kids, why can’t you imagine yourself with a mental illness that forces you to do terrible things?

            If you were having a heart attack and deliberately accelerated and aimed your car at a group of people on the sidewalk, then you are both the victim of a heart attack and a murderer.
            Mental illness should affect where you are incarcerated and the type of treatment you get, but it doesn’t mean that you get a free pass.
            The US’s handling of incarcerated people, especially the mentally ill, is gross and malicious, but this is the choice that the voters have made. That desperately needs to be fixed, but setting a murderer free is not helping.

            Also, it’s really grotesque that stealing to feed your children, or sneaking across borders to give them a better life is worthy of jail time if you aren’t white, but if you are white then premeditated murder of your own children makes you a hero.

              No. That’s entirely not the point. If you have a heart attack and so your body forces you to fall unconscious and so you get in an accident and kill your children, are you guilty? Obviously you need medical attention and cannot be allowed to drive while there is any significant chance that you might do it again.
              Nobody is suggesting that this woman should be set free - she needs to be in a secure mental treatment facility until she is safe to be in society - and possibly that will never happen.
              This has nothing to do with those other issues or skin color. It is about mental health, women’s support and post partum care.
              If you can’t wrap your head around the mental illness cause part because you have no empathy or ability to understand things you haven’t experienced, maybe think about how one’s mind can be altered with drugs/alchohol, or how hypnotism can make people do complex weird things. Our brains are a very complex chemical system and can get out of whack causing surprising results. Post partum mental illness is much more common than most people believe because of the stigma and covering it up. It needs a lot more understanding and accommodation - that recognition and support would help avoid such tragedies as this case. Your inability to understand and empathize will only make things worse.

        you are listening to misinformation, the woman in the juror went on a SJW crusade to get her freed, because they felt “Woman needs to be not the same as men”

          She admitted to it, the question is whether she is criminally responsible or if her postpartum psychosis constitutes mitigating circumstances.

            She may have lied when she ‘admitted it’. She hasn’t been found guilty in a court of law. It’s still only ‘allegedly’.

              She admitted it in court.

              Not being found guilty for it doesn’t mean it didn’t happen.

              If you’re at a carnival where one of the games is throwing axes at a board. And somehow a child suddenly teleported in front of the board after throwing the axe, you might not be guilty for it. But you still killed the kid.

      I can’t be the only one who finds it odd that your line defining what you can’t make a joke about is women’s mental health but not child rape islands.
