[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Even if it was pre-meditated, couldn't her lawyers argue that the medications she was on contributed to irrational thinking? It's similar to when someone plans to kill themselves.  They plan out the act and carry it out--it doesn't mean this was intentional. They were experiencing a psychotic episode that resulted in irrational thinking that led to suicide. This is a heartbreaking case. I do not think this woman intended to kill her children. If you took away the PPD and medications she was on, she would not have planned this murder. [/quote]

So now anyone on a few psych drugs isn’t responsible for their actions? Do you hear yourself?[/quote]

[b]No, but we're talking about someone who had PPD[/b]. The woman was suffering from a disease. It robbed her of her decisionmaking. And she wasn't on a few drugs--she was on 13. [/quote]

NO WE ARE NOT. Stop writing fanfiction. Just stop. And maybe get some help yourself.

Oh, and if she really was “on 13 drugs,” she was lying to doctors or doctor shopping to get that many prescriptions, and no one held her down and poured the pills into her mouth.[/quote]
