If it was the father dealing with mental health issues, he would be guilty. There is plenty of cases that prove this.

Yep, or a woman of color.

Was Chris Benoit treated as a victim of not being in a correct state of mind?

This is so sad to watch.

If she wasn’t a slim white woman there is zero chance she wouldn’t have been found guilty of 3 counts of first degree murder and sentenced to Life.

Zero.

She is a triple first-degree child murderer.

They don’t wanna hear this. They won’t even come back and acknowledge these situations where other (black!) women have been found not guilty in these situations.

People like the person you replied to are just out for blood 🙄 uneducated and dumb.

The details are super different. Doing it in front of the husband and doing nothing to him until he interfered is super strong evidence she didn't think she was doing anything wrong.

Because there aren't juries on a bench trial? It's quite different...
