[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Stepping outside the issue of whether Clancy had PPP, it seems that PPP is a very specific psychosis that causes a mother to kill her own children - not her husband, not her parents, not randos on the street.

So I guess I don’t see how to compare it to, say, a school shooter who is randomly killing fellow students. Are there cases where a new mother opened fire in a mall or something?  Seems like this post partum psychosis is a unique phenomenon that results only in the deaths of mothers/their children, no?  [/quote]

I mean, does it matter that the victim profile is different? At the end of the day, they kill an innocent person, why would they be treated differently?

There is even another murder case in Duxbury where the perpetrator claims he was hearing voices and killed his father. Why is this any different?

This. I had a friend who last year was murdered, along with his wife, by their adult son, who has a list of psychiatric diagnoses as long as your arm, with an equally long list of meds (which he was taking) to match. If Lindsey gets off, he should too. After all, they only killed their families “and didn’t shoot up a school or anything.”    :roll: [/quote]
