is it permanent?

Yes, thankfully.

If the fruitcake jury lets her off it would at least be some small solace that she'd never walk again.

Still a miscarriage of justice for killing 3 children.

quote:

---

She used a kitchen knife to cut her wrists and neck. She took a bunch of pills and then jumped out of her bedroom (2nd story) window. She coded in the hospital, they revived her, then she was in a coma for a while. She’s currently paralyzed from the waist down and has 24/7 one-on-one care because she’s still a high suicide risk.

Correct

If you were a juror that truly was intelligent and actually wanted to carry out your civic duty this would be an extremely hard case

She is clearly a monster. Her actions were heinous. However it truly looks like she was insane during the act

Now, personally, I don’t think that matters, personally, I would want her charged with murder. But that is not how the law works. And Not guilty by reason of insanity is a law. It’s there. It’s written . You are supposed to take out personal feelings and opine on the actual laws

And by the law she seems extremely close to meeting that law

So I think it’s extremely unfair to say if a juror votes NGRI is just a braindead moron is pretty far from the truth

The law is what should be argued is a miscarriage of justice here, not the potential juror decision of NGRI because that isn’t a crazy or outlandish decision based on the actual written law

you just list it as you did, then yes, it looks bad, but put it into context with the fact that she is a nurse, and it looks pretty obvious that it was not a legit suicide attempt.

---

She permanently paralyzed herself

I mean the effort was solid . I can’t convince myself to jump head first “from only 13 feet high” as you put it

If she were serious about it, the wrist cuts done properly would have done the trick in a few minutes. She knows that as a nurse

Everything else was for show, and she jumped into the snow. Paralyzing herself seems like an unintended consequence.

think she wanted to die then and she wants to die now.

Good. I hope she kills herself at the next available opportunity.

She is a nurse who understands what it takes to end a life or save one. She just ended 3 after all.

Nothing she did after that was seen all the way through and was all superficial. She didn't even take enough pills to do anything. Again, cutting her wrist properly would have been more than enough.

Maybe she was just an underachiever when it came to killing herself but not her kids or maybe she did just enough to make the attempt look valid

Sadly, tons of people commit suicide by just doing one of those things properly every year. Ole Lindsay the nurse just couldn't figure it out, though.

quote:

---

Because if she was insane and having psychosis, I don’t exactly think she is recalling her nursing training

---

She turned her kids around while strangling them. She was apparently insane during this but sane enough to know she didn't want to watch as she choked the air out of them?

She also took a call from her husband during it all and was able to communicate with him normally but rushed. The husband said he figured she was bathing the kids but nothing seemed unusual on the call.

I understand we want her to be insane because of how gruesome it is but it all points to planning and being conscientious enough to navigate the whole ordeal

So you are saying she was aware enough to do that but she suddenly forgot her nurse training when it was her turn to die. Got it.

Dude im not saying you are wrong. It’s extremely arguable you are correct

But just using the facts of the case, extremely grounded smart people who aren’t liberal weirdos could say she is NGRI

That doesn’t mean they like it, but using the law it’s very possible that is the truth.

quote:

---

So I don’t know why you think failing (although permanently injuring herself for life) is saying anything really meaningful

---

She was a nurse. She just killed 3 people.

She statistically doesn't fit your 92%. She knows what it takes to both end and save a life.
