It isn't that she just had postpartum depression she had untreated schizophrenia. Postpartum depression is an afterthought. I don't think she should go free guys, but I do believe she is very different than most people who commit murder.

I agree Jerry....we can't generalize simply because some people have used a bogus insanity defense in the past. Gotta remember the only reason it sometimes works is that the vast majority of the time, the symptoms are real!
