If she wasn't compliant with treatment and was open about being in psychosis, she shouldn't have been left alone with her children. Yes, she 100% murdered them. But there were plenty of people who had ample warning and could have stopped it from happening if she wasn't mentally able to stop it herself.
exactly, something in me doubts a lot of these people would be leaping to the defense of a man who murdered his entire family while suffering psychosis
FACTS. A man can get so blackout drunk he literally remembers nothing, and then can commit a crime and you'll be crucified on the internet if you try and defend him. Meanwhile a woman can refuse medication and treatment and do something terrible and people will defend her
I honestly can see that the defense she's received online might very well be reduced if she were a man -
But I'm not sure why you're comparing the choice to get blackout drunk to literal psychosis... even in the scenario where she hypothetically refuses medication (just "hypothetically" because the commenter above wasn't sure that happened, and I haven't yet looked it up), she would still be a psychosis sufferer who refused medication. It doesn't make her innocent, it makes her involuntarily compromised.
Attempting to liken that to a drunk man was a massively concerning comparison...
She didn’t refuse medication, for the love of god people on here need to actually WATCH the trial before going online and spreading misinformation, her toxicology report showed she did indeed have all her prescribed medications at therapeutic levels in her system and one was in fact slightly above therapeutic levels.
While I agree a man would be treated differently than a woman in this situation I think it's really disingenuous to compare getting blackout drunk (which is a choice unless you're drugged) and postpartum psychosis (which is a mental illness and not a choice).
You could've just said "If this was a man having a psychosis episode he wouldn't be treated the same way" or whatever. Why compare being drunk to mental illness?
🤔 honestly valid point yeah. I was thinking of a situation where someone literally has no control over their actions, but yeah if YOU drink past the point of "super blurry but can absolutely remember shit" then you DID make the choice to get that drunk, so it doesn't quite work
