Or the police was wrong. It happens all the time.

Stop being an apologist for a killer.

And clearly the mother was very very ill. I hope this is a reminder to people to check in on friends, family and neighbors. Women are not okay and this should be an alarm bell to this entire listserv.

+10000 this is so tragic. What’s even more tragic is that the mom felt trapped in her life and had nobody supporting her or checking on her.

Can you point to where it said that she had nobody supporting her or checking on her?

She's setting up an insanity plea.

"Setting up" is premeditated. I doubt she's in a state of mind to be calculated.

You must live in a shell if you have never heard “mum”, mama” and many other terms used for mother within and outside the United States.

No one here uses mum except foreigners.

We call my mother "mum" as all of our friends did for their mothers growing up. Mine signs her cards "Love, Mum".

awesome! Start a thread on that!

Not necessarily

And it was, horrible.

The mother was a therapist ... definitely was intentional

Being a therapist doesn't make you immune from mental health issues. Most I know have pretty serious issues themselves. She clearly had a mental health break.
