He killed his kid out of revenge towards is ex-estranged wife who left him for violence and domestic abuse. He had already some legal issues before this. Then shot and killed his kids with their mother on the phone. Then got a tattoo in their honor after killing them, before getting arrested. Then fought the arresting officer. Officers confiscated 16 firearms from his house. His lawyer said he shouldn't get death penalty because he had bipolar disorder, no talk of psychosis. A mental health expert testified that he was faking mental health symptoms to delay is execution. The court also thought he was faking his mental health. He apparently read about cases that use insanity in courts. Two different case but idiots on the internet won't care.
No I know she’s crazy. She probably didn’t know how she could be such a terrible existence. I’m sure she lives with that everyday. She’s even tried to end her own life. It’s her mental illness no one will understand it. But she deserves to be away from society forever. She saw rage for a moment and did the worst. She even tried to jump for some relief.
Nothing you’re describing sounds like rage. Also, if the system failed her by being unable to successfully treat someone in her privileged position, why is the burden on her to be separated completely from society forever?
The system isn’t god. Things are on us to make them right. I learn to be better person everyday. I’ve dealt with way more than postpartum depression yet I still try to be my best for society.
And you are saying that yours is the only model and that no one is capable of failing and being failed where you were not? That seems like a fairly ridiculous stance to take. It also doesn’t answer my question: If she was failed, which it seems as though she was, why is it on her to be separated from the society that failed her forever? Why is there no room for rehabilitation in your carceral “justice”? How do we prevent another instance of this if all we do is fail to address the problems and throw the people away? That has been our policy/system up until now, and it did not prevent this.
No I’m saying its to complex to even comprehend let alone understand. I understand my faults and act accordingly. It’s for every individual to act as such. Just because you break down and kill the innocent doesn’t justify your actions. I’ve yet to hear a plea of her righteous actions. Just saying I’m dumb for thinking taking the life of children is wrong.
There’s a basic distinction between an act and a legal verdict:
Killing is an action (actus reus).
Murder is a legal classification requiring specific intent (mens rea).
If someone is legally insane at the time of the offense, the verdict is Not Guilty by Reason of Insanity (NGRI)—meaning they killed, but are legally not a murderer. Confessing to the action doesn't settle the charge; intent and mental state do.
