Wynne Lee, accused in Aiden Leos’ death, once conquered depression, looked to a brighter future
Orange County Register ^ | June 8, 2021 | Brian Rokos

Once trapped in a deep depression that prompted thoughts of suicide, Wynne Lee appeared to have conquered her demons and had high hopes for her future.

Lee, now 23, went public with the mental health struggles that began at age 12. She took community college classes after graduating early from Diamond Bar High. And she talked about studying design at a four-year university.

But that well-publicized chapter in Lee’s life was written some six years ago. The pages in her life since, as far as what is publicly known, were mostly blank until Sunday, June 6, when she and boyfriend Marcus Anthony Eriz, 24, were arrested in connection with the May 21 shooting death of 6-year-old Aiden Leos during a road-rage attack on the 55 Freeway in Orange.

Lee shared her mental health struggles for a Kaiser Health News story in 2015 about cultural expectations and depression. The daughter of Taiwanese immigrants believed she was not living up to her parents’ academic goals and was having a difficult 8th-grade year socially. She felt isolated and even took to cutting herself, which she said provided “instant relief.”

She went to Diamond Bar High School, which is in Diamond Bar, California...It is a nice suburban city...I do not think her family is "poor"...

After high school graduation, she attended Mt. SAC...A community college...

Ms. Lee had many jobs...She did not stay too long in one place...

Maybe Ms. Lee's lawyer will mention her past struggles with depression...For a lesser sentence...

Normal people can’t. These individuals are not normal [or decent]. Me, me ,me is all they know. No one else matters to them. Unfortunately society is that way now.

She’s after the fact.

Where’s the shooter’s history of arrests or none?

His name they say: Marcus Anthony Eriz

Priors, please? Whole dang criminal record please? Early release? On probation? Its public record. Yes we know he plead or will plead not guilty but his background would be useful information.

Her defense team are working overtime to soften up her image and make her a sympathetic defendant.

The next story will be about how she was in an abusive relationship and due to her depression could not break free of her boyfriend.

She is not after the fact.

She was driving the car, she drove the car in a manner that made if possible for Eriz to fire the weapon into the other car and kill the child.

After that, she drove the get away car and did not go to the police immediately.

She is as guilty as Eriz.

Neither of them had a criminal record. OC DA Spitzer hasn’t mentioned any, and “Heavy” didn’t find any. Heavy has been a reliable source in the past.

I think her lawyer will try to do that...I think I have seen defense lawyers do that in other cases...

Maybe her depression will relapse and she’ll do the right thing.

Periodically I have BeenVerified active. If I need it I just get a quarter's usage and happen to be active. He didn't show up easily for ANYTHING much less a criminal record.

While a lot of psych "knowledge" is just covering for the latest deviant behavior, "co-dependency" is a very real, very troubling, scary thing.

Two, or more, legitimizing the vilest of actions, with a rationale that allows the unspeakable.

Only thing, there is the "proven guilty" thing that demands patience.

As an aside, I'm also responding to a Meatspace post who's banned or suspended. Let's see what happens kids?
