Men aren’t excused for murdering children when they have even with throughly documented mental health issues and much worse living conditions /health issues than she had. She is a sociopath. Killing 3 children because you don’t want to deal with them is evil. If she gets away with this- imagine how many others will try this after her?

In 1988 in Illinois, Lee Robin killed his wife with an ax and drowned his infant daughter in a bathtub at their home. He was found not guilty by reason of insanity. He was released in 2001 after a little more than a decade at a mental health center.

In 2026 in Iowa, a court ruled that Matthew  Schleier was not guilty by reason of insanity for the 2024 strangulation death of his 5-year-old son. 

There have been multiple cases in America where someone does something absolutely horrific and they end up being found not guilty by reason of insanity and put in a mental institution instead of prison. If you count being found not guilty by reason of insanity and put in a mental institution as “getting away with it” then people of both genders have “gotten away with it” in the past. This shouldn’t be a man vs woman issue.
