So she was having mental problems before the murders, it may not have been ‘postpartum depression’ but it was something. Name of the diagnosis is irrelevant- she was having mental episodes- she didn’t get the help she needed although sought - and she killed her kids. Is she guilty - yes, but she was obviously struggling with something. That doesn’t excuse the murders, and she should be punished, but painting her as a headless murderer didn’t quite work out for the prosecution.


It wasn't postpartum although the suggestion that it was has hijacked empathy so badly that it obliterated compassion for and justice in the name of the children and husband.

We all have struggles. She qualified however as enormously lucky.

Every person who commits a crime probably suffers from something because every person who doesn't commit atrocities also experiences depression, pain, sadness, and anger. These are the parts of human life that we have to endure and hopefully don't inflict on others.

However much she is imagined to have suffered in the eyes of her advocates I don't see it. I hope it is there because it would imply greater humanity than her actions demonstrate. But whether or not it exists it doesn't mitigate the damage she caused or render her future self safe for release into a society of her potential victims.

there are other post partum cases we never hear about - why is this one everywhere



Especially because it's not a postpartum case. The defense lawyer inserted that after the murders. She wasn't diagnosed with postpartum depression or psychosis

Yeah. It tracks
Hell the legal system is such a shite hole that the juror could be an angel but a bitter ex alleged DV after being dumped (or as a power play in a divorce)
I guess it would depend who you ask since I didn't marry a white person. Or that could be extra practicing if it counts as colonizing under the sheets?
Isn't he (Ryan Kath) on the boundary of breaking juror confidentiality? He's certainly on the edge of encouraging public disparagement if not outright violence.

The first amendment doesn't entitle him to violate juror anonymity. Especially not in a case like this where the threat of violence should be taken seriously
Notice that it used the word allegations.

Which is an even lower threshold for proof than required for indictment, let alone conviction.

The juror may want to lawyer up like the husband because there will be some quality defamation and public hatred headed his way.

Personally I think it's a net positive for the American culture. Political and social media tribalism are out of control. A black guy making an independent individual decision is a positive statement about him and the system working.
I'm skeptical. Not that I wouldn't laugh

Just the still shots of DeBoar would be something though
After you have someone down the additional strikes have no purpose other than to potentially kill the person. This is why you need police on every subway and need to make sure no unpaid riders enter.

Hinckley got a bus ticket, booked a hotel room, planned, and then executed an assassination attempt. But they couldn't prove 100% beyond all reasonable doubt that he wasnt insane while he did it.

How can anyone prove 100% that someone else didnt hear voices in their head?


I think that's an obvious misinterpretation of the law. 100% proof has never been a reasonable standard.

The insanity defense has always been selectively considered. The majority of serial killers are criminally insane by some metric but are exactly the type of people the justice system exists to protect others from being killed, raped, or maimed by.

Certainly most women doing crazy shite are possible to diagnose as bipolar or depressed. You just don't have a civil peaceful society if you don't treat them on the basis of their behavior. We can't have a society where men or women can get away with that type of criminality.

Louisiana governor has always "controlled" LSU to varying degrees.



Yeah

With the exception of Vanderbilt all of the SEC schools are beholden to their state governments and courts.

And certainly federal and state legislatures and courts have meddled many times before. Chambliss seems like a recent obvious and somewhat egregious example. He's there in spite of SEC and NCAA rulings.

Massachusetts made their law wrong


Agreed with this part

quote:

Massachusetts defendant does not have to prove they were legally insane, rather the prosecution must prove beyond all reasonable doubt that they weren't insane..


Terrible law but in this case her ability to distinguish reality from hallucination is not in reasonable doubt. She was able to plan, time directions and routes, and then immediately ask for a lawyer when the police arrived.

She just played the insanity card as a legal tool from the bottom of the deck after killing three children. But her ability to construct a timeline, control the impulse until no one could stop her, and deceive the husband shakes out the insanity defense as nonsense.

True

Lane was really trolling and poking the rest of the SEC, which is pretty ridiculous for a HC to do.



#1 He was bragging about his team's performance, not trolling the conference. The conference got their way and the statement was a joke about them getting their way.

#2. Insulting other members of the SEC is a longstanding tradition. The Auburn library burns down? Spurrier points out the tragedy was they hadn't all been colored in yet. They beat Tennessee regularly? He pointed out that you can't spell Citrus without UT.

Mike Leach is rolling over in his grave about how soft you are. And he has a few more choice words about you fat little girlfriend

A lot of schools should think about going that direction.

"He admitted he had reasonable doubt and I started filling out the forms, I was so excited," the foreperson said.



The word reasonable is a confabulation or insertion by her. If he agreed he would have agreed.

Also, the excitement about letting her off to be temporarily housed by a mental hospital before release in several years is evil.

The woman in no way could be described as suffering from psychosis when she could differentiate hallucinations from reality well enough to plan the crimes and ask for a lawyer when the police arrived.

We're seeing the effects of imitation killing of children already. The only good outcome would be a conviction with a lifetime sentence (barring the death penalty). This type of behavior has to be punished appropriately. You can define any criminal as having a mental illness if you want but if you don't lock up people that kill people more innocent people die. And the obligation of the society is to place responsibility for their behavior on the individual.

Spurrier did not go against the SEC and other schools



He humiliated the rest of the SEC on and off the field.

I don't even understand what you are trying to say. Saban also drug his arse up and down the conference.

Beating up the opposition is the goal. Citing the halftime comment was idiotic. It wasn't even a shot at Sankey. It was a brag.
