For those unfamiliar with the case the link above is a very brief overview.
I honestly don’t know what to think about this case, if I was on the jury I’d have so much trouble figuring out which I would do. I am a big advocate for mental health, and I truly believe giving the benefit of the doubt, but there is some stuff that makes me pause. I think that it honestly was a mix. I think she knew what she was doing, and knew it was wrong, but wasn’t fully able to comprehend her actions. I think she should be granted life in a psychiatric ward, maybe with a possibilty of parole. I’d say guilty and not guilty aren’t proper terms in this case, because both of them are too absolute. I think there should be a mix of both outcomes, more lenient than a guilty verdict, but more strict than a not guilty. Maybe this trial could start a new law revolving around case like this.
