The Spin


Postpartum psychosis is a real psychiatric emergency, not a mood swing, and Massachusetts rightly puts the burden on prosecutors to prove sanity beyond a reasonable doubt. Organized behavior proves nothing when reality itself is distorted by delusion and a pile of psychiatric medications. A jury split overwhelmingly toward mercy shows the case for accountability was never there.

Fathers who strangled their children and claimed voices in their heads got convictions and death sentences from juries that saw through the excuse. The same claim from a sympathetic mother somehow brings rallies in pink, glowing coverage and endless courtroom delay. Three children were killed, and the only person being treated as the victim is the one who admitted doing it.
