Haven't been following this very closely despite it being constantly covered on Boston news stations. Having a fair amount of knowledge about the brain (for reasons that would take a long time to explain) I know that mental illnesses...short term and long term...can be caused by chemical "imbalances" in the brain. My sister,in fact,had post partum depression times two. But she didn't kill anybody.

If the accused was,in fact,experiencing such an imbalance (impossible for anyone to know for sure) I'd say that she was not morally culpable for what she did. If she wasn't: string her up!

This has nothing to do with the chick on trial but I have also learned a lot about the brain as I care for son with brain cancer. I learned first hand what happens to someone who has a Vitamin B12 deficiency. It is just like someone with dementia.The brain is a very complex chunk of meat.

I have no opinion on the trial as I haven’t paid attention to it.

Most normal people would believe the taking the life of an innocent person as an act of an insane person.
