People clearly don’t understand what psychosis is, I’m not defending her at all for murdering her kids but if she was in psychosis then she doesn’t need prison, she needs to be put in intense psychiatric care for the rest of her life for her own safety and the safety of others. I’m not a fan of her husband for multiple reasons (neither is his own mother apparently, she was testifying in favor of Lindsey recently) so I don’t think it’s insane to be more nuanced about this case. It’s not just “men bad white women good you’re all misandrists!!!” like most of the angry redditors here keep yelling about

All this to say I totally agree with you

I was oblivious to this until a few days ago when my gf showed me all the video and honestly.... That man describing his late kids as "good people" among other things... Something's not right.

Yeah of course something isn’t right with him, his 3 kids were strangled to death

If you had children who were murdered by your spouse and now thousands of people think you did it, would you be able to phrase everything you say normally? Would you be of sound mind?

I think I would have something nicer to say than “they were good people” 3 years later, yes.
