No one is saying it isn’t a bad situation, but we have laws that say the punishment is different when you do something like this while mentally disturbed. It’s not the job of the jurors to decide that law is wrong. They’re just supposed to decide based on what the law is

So what’s your proposal for a better system to determine who is guilty/innocent of a crime? We can’t just override the jury’s decision because you particularly feel some type of way about it. It doesn’t work that way

No not for a second. She killed her kids. You’re a shitty person

Who gets to decide the evidence is “irrefutable” though? Like, that’s the whole fucking point of the jury lmao. No one is saying she didn’t kill her kids, she’s claiming she was severely mentally ill when it happened. That’s a much harder thing to disprove and it’s kind of hard to have “irrefutable” evidence against it

Ok man. Then you’re just demonstrating why your opinion shouldn’t be taken seriously. “No I would never try to consider alternate opinions and actually you’re an awful person if you do.” And again no one is saying this lady didn’t kill her kids and that’s really not what’s up for debate at this point

Tell me how it works then Mr. Science. How do we retroactively test her hormones from like 3 and a half years ago

I’m pretty sure it was a broader picture of her mental health struggles and seeking multiple medications from different physicians, rather than just hormonal. Also I think this case is particularly hard because in Mass. the prosecution has to prove that she was sane when she did it (a greater burden than just proving she did it)

I’m not trying to like personally defend Lindsay, I’m just saying we have a system for how this works and the people who were chosen to decide her verdict aren’t sold that she should be found criminally liable. I asked you to to suggest a different one and you made a suggestion that makes no sense and basically makes the trial by jury pointless
