@High_Scroller@factsdontlie10@LawyerYouKnow Lifelong work on postpartum mental health matters more to her than staying squeaky clean for one trial. Public support for Lindsay advances the bigger message she’s been pushing for years.
@darktriadtc@_nikki_wrongway@cathyrusson Maybe she didn’t expect this case to blow up. When she first got involved it probably looked like a standard expert consultation. Now that it’s national news, it becomes a platform she can lean into for the larger postpartum mental-health message she’s been pushing for years.
@MrsBhave They did. Dr. Donald Condie was called specifically for the psychopharmacology side and testified about the medications, changes, and effects from the records.
@JohnDePetroshow So she was giving her false hope .If she’s Catholic and committed the mortal sin of murdering her own children, how does she get into heaven to be “reunited” with them?
@kelly_steffee Treating this case like the natural or inevitable outcome of postpartum mental illness is both inaccurate and unfair to the vast majority of mothers who struggle and still protect their kids.
@901Lulu How did the medical system do a horrible job treating her, based on the testimony so far and the actual standard of care that exists in the US, not some ideal version that doesn’t exist?
@floridarebelmom The chaplain put other direct quotations from Lindsay into the chart. She just left out the part about the command voice. Privilege doesn’t explain that selective gap.
@kelly_steffee We were given a handout on the baby blues and postpartum depression, and the nurse went over it with us during discharge. But we never heard anything about postpartum psychosis. At my 6-week checkup they also did a postpartum depression screening.
@GogIvanka Another question to add is; When Lindsay told her mom and Patrick she was having thoughts of harming the kids, why was there no real safety plan?
@ProsecutorsPod Could spell names and over-explain irrelevant details, but hadn’t reviewed the inpatient records or the other expert’s full report. Kept reaching for big vocabulary and emotion. An expert that couldn’t even do basic homework.
@kelly_steffee In my view a true break from reality severe enough to erase criminal responsibility usually leaves a clearer trail before the act. Here the trail only becomes dramatic afterward. Not her mom, sister, husband or providers saw it coming.
@kelly_steffee LC,s mom and sister came across as protecting the narrative. The sister was caught in multiple inconsistencies. The mother admitted Lindsay had shared thoughts of harming the kids. Their lack of urgency at the time vs. the crisis framing now is hard to ignore.
@901Lulu If there had been an affair partner, that person would have been looked at too interviews, phone data, alibis. Nothing like that has surfaced in the evidence presented so far.
@LJanemagic1@factsdontlie10 Knowing where the carotid is doesn’t mean you know the most effective way to cut it to die. Nurses aren’t taught suicide methods.
@ProsecutorsPod Defense pulled a bunch of those searches (psychosis, hallucinations, “can you treat a sociopath,” etc.) out early on purpose. They know CW’s expert will hit it later, so they’re trying to frame it first as her still being self-aware and scared instead of letting CW define it.
