The baby was nearly a year old. Just how many years after the child's delivery can one claim postpartum depression? That is nonsense.
Oh, you can claim PPD right up until you're acquitted or found guilty but insane, which means you're sentenced to an asylum, which means you're off lighter than any man who couldn't possibly get off with such a ridiculous excuse.
Imagine a man saying, "I'm sad because my wife delivered my baby and died in childbirth, and now I have to take care of the baby. I cut the child's head off because I have this big hole in my heart missing my wife and I'm sad."
He would be dead already. The cops wouldn't even let him get out of the house. He'd have a weapon planted on him after they filled that hole in his heart full of lead.
Instead the NOW nags will come out of the woodwork and the dad will be painted a heartless man, compounding the injury this awful woman did to her family.
Oh, I'm sorry,. I didn't realize you were a Doctor. Tell me, in what subject did you receive your degree?
