[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

Would you have the same opinion if it were, say, your nanny and your kids? After all, anyone can become psychotic and unaware of what they’re doing right?[/quote]
Yes, this is exactly how we must view this. Lindsay was 8 months postpartum, she could’ve been working as an RN, [b]what if it were your kids that she murdered? Would you be saying “oh but she had a moment of psychosis, I understand, I can totally relate to her” no, if it were your children, you wouldn’t be saying this. You’d want her dead or put behind bars to suffer for the rest of her life.[/b][/quote]

Except the person whose kids actually were murdered (Patrick Clancy) has forgiven her.   [/quote]

This was before he knew the details - like how she set him up to look for a hard to find medicine and drive to a far away restaurant, etc.  Not to mention realizing he was on the phone with her while she was in the middle of strangling his children.  We have no idea how he feels now and he could easily be a prosecution witness by the time this goes to trial.[/quote]
