[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel like two things can be true here: She indeed committed a horrible terrible crime. Unthinkable. Horrific. 
She could also have been unaware of what she was doing and psychotic.
Why can't both things exist?[/quote]

Both things CAN exist.  I don't think anyone is arguing that Andrea Yates did not commit an unthinkable crime (I hope not).  She committed an unthinkable crime.  She was unaware and psychotic.  Same for this chick too.  I'm not going to parade around saying "#iamlindsey" or whatever, because she committed an unthinkable crime and murdered her children whereas I did not, so, no, I am not the same as her.  But I think she probably committed these murders while having a psychotic episode and was not aware of her actions, and this is precisely why we have "Not guilty by reason of insanity". [/quote]
That argument could be used for so many murderers currently being raped in prison or who are now dead as a result of lethal injection. Lindsay is a woman, yes, who cares though? We are fu$&ed as a society if we support her and fail to even acknowledge or recognize other mentally ill murderers. It’s setting a precedence. She made her bed and made bad choices. So did many other murderers. while I believe she had severe anxiety and possibly a personality disorder,I truly don’t believe she had PPP. [/quote]
