Can anyone else tell right from wrong?
I think this sums up my husband's thoughts on the matter. We talked about this a little at home, not much. Once the verdict was read, he was appalled. Working in the mental health industry, it was inconceivable to him that she would be found guilty. I was not perhaps so stunned, but surprised.
I think many people in the US of A need to learn a lot more about mental illness.

I think the line that summed it up for me was in agreement that I cannot believe her children would have wanted her death. Except, of course, in the sense that a black-and-white "eye-for-an-eye" mentality is fairly childish.
The part that really struck home was the line about suggesting that people with a mental illness are expected to get treatment and support for themselves. That's exactly the problem. [sigh]

If they could think clearly enough to get help for themselves, they wouldn't be ill, says Lou.
Right on target here, Meera.
