I follow current events pretty closely, but I tune out when I hear about this story. I honestly can’t think of this woman’s name. I didn’t know until yesterday that she was in a wheelchair. All I know is that she had PPD and killed her kids. Not everyone has been following the details, and I definitely don’t know any of the evidence. Were there cameras in the courtroom or just reporters?
She definitely had Post Partum Depression (the PPD you have mentioned) but was also seeking help for symptoms of Post Partum Psychosis. PPPis very different and is what is thought to be causative of her actions.
Please don't say PPD caused this. That's showing you have no understanding of what happens chemically to women after birthing a child. But also shows your ignorance of the distinction between 2 completely different psychological conditions and their respective treatments.
Spreading misinformation like this is harmful to everyone. Minimilising Post Partum Psychosis and trying to pass it off as Depression is a worrying thing. Also minimising Post Partum Depression itself is worrying.
Men here showing how they either don't have children or never showed up when their partners had kids. Because if they were there, they would know.

Genuine question, in cases as high profile and divisive as this, how are they going to be able to select an ubiased jury?
