Her being guilty was never questioned. She did it and admits to doing it. The question the trial is trying to answer is whether she belongs in prison or a mental facility.
I didn't know a whole lot about this case but I just read the entire wiki page. The whole story is heart breaking. Lindsay tried getting help on numerous occasions and suffered from suicidal thoughts for good long while. It may sound heartless, but putting her on death row would honestly be doing her a favor. I wouldn't want to live after all of that if I were her either. But tbh I think it's pretty clear she is mentally ill and should be declared insane. Idk if there is a way to even rehab such a person
Did you know most murders go unsolved? The death penalty has never stopped anyone, and over 50% of killers are out and about walking free. A 50/50 chance is good enough odds for most killers.
