That was premeditated murder.
Postpartum occurs after birth. She told the detectives she tried to find someone weeks before birth to teach her to perform a self abortion.
Oh BULL CHIT
No amount of depression post or pre pregnancy would cause me to murder my children
Oh please that is not true women do not kill their children due to Postpartum Depression. She was/is a demonic mental case way before she was given the gift of children from god.
Weeks before she gave birth she was looking for someone to teach her how to do a self-induced abortion... so pre-partem depression?
Don't rush to judgment on her yet.Well, there is this from the article "...She also told investigators that after killing the baby, she threw the body into a dumpster at her apartment building..."
She admitted it. To borrow a phrase from Dennis Miller: She should have been executed before she could pronounce the "T" sound in "I Did It".
Depressed or not, I can not imagine a set of circumstances or any "mitigating factors" that would soften the fact (in the tiniest bit) that she knowingly and willingly strangled her newborn infant and tossed it in the trash.
I don't know about the rest of you folks, but I have no problem rushing to judgement in this case. Not one bit. Then again, I also think our society needs to return to boldly and swiftly dealing out righteous retribution in cases such as these. Maybe I'm just weird.
