I heard about the lousy medical care - much of it not even in person - that she received, and the long list of constantly changing drugs, almost ALL of which carry warnings of homicidal and suicidal ideation.

So is it your position that any murderer who happens to be on a psychotropic medication (nearly all of which carry warning labels about suicidal thoughts - and by extrapolation homicidal thoughts) should be found not guilty and just walk free?

Being on medication or emotionally disturbed shouldn't be a get out of jail free card. The insanity defense used to only apply to people so mentally handicapped and delusional that they didn't even know what they were doing or that it was illegal. No matter how "depressed" someone is, they know what murder is and that murder is illegal.

As to your ad populum argument that your position is the correct one because all but one juror found her not guilty, surely you're aware of the fact that lawyers pad juries with sympathetic individuals, in this case, a pack of feminist harpies. Of course they would find her not guilty, even if she didn't have her meds or "depression" as a flimsy excuse.

I came to my conclusion before the jury had even deliberated.

How much of the trial did you watch?
