[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] To those that are judging her horrible actions, we need to remember that she was out of her mind.  This is not the act of a well or rational person. It's so sad and so tragic.[/quote]

She killed  2 people seriously harmed another who ended up dying and herself in a relatively short period of time.

That's not a small act.  Specifically the method she used to kill the kids. Toddlers are strong as heck they would have been fighting. Strangulation is a horrific way to go.

As a medical professional she would know this

She may have a mental illness but I'm not willing to mitigate what she did based on that alone [/quote]

Yes, she moved quick.  Husband was gone 30 minutes, that's  less than 10 min to kill each child and jump out of the window.  It was reported there was obvious signs of trauma, so it sounds like they fought.  It didn't happen in the middle of the night while they were asleep with  sleep medication.  It must have been a violent struggle with the 2 oldest kids.  [/quote]

This wasn’t a situation where she drove them off a cliff or something all at once.  She strangled each child. She watched her child die at her hands and then still went to the next to do it again.  She is an absolute monster. Why didn’t she throw the kids out the window? It just seems so thought out and brutal and horrible.  [/quote]

It is kind of nuts how long it would have taken with each separate child. Same with drowning or smothering. It was take a full minute or two for each one, while they fought. [/quote]

+2 There is a shred of premeditation in the above. [/quote]
