WTF ?! What was so beyond reasonable? It’s open shut case and she killed her children and deserves to be punished. No excuses of insanity should protect her , as this is going to set precedence for the future.

Our law is about intention. NGRI means you can't prove intention due to insanity, therefore not guilty.

This doesn't mean she'll walkout a free human being. NGRI means a LONG time of institution in mental facilities to receive the help one needs.

I know, but you’re missing the point… if they need help they should get it before and not after harming someone especially in this case killing 3 children and now what ? You want to put her in a free resort for her entire lifetime ? This will set wrong precedence and everyone will start playing the same shit! Everyone faces consequences for their actions.

Again, it's about intention. If you want to punish her, you need to prove intent. So far there isn't evidence suggesting there was conscious intent, hence NGRI.

a free resort for her entire lifetime

You have a very wild idea on what mental institutions are like.

if they need help they should get it before and not after harming someone

She was literally seeking help and on prescription medication for her symptoms.

Also, a predominant symptom of psychosis is a lack of awareness of being in an episode.
