She treated the child as a possession to control; the stated custody justification is a rationalization for calculated murder.

The stated motivation—preventing custody loss—does not logically justify killing the child; alternatives existed or the threat was misrepresented.

Facts, proof, and receipts to prove this is true, or you are just pulling this shit out of your ass and regurgitating what the homicidal pos mother used as an excuse to murder her own child..

The death penalty is actually more expensive than keepingssomeone ein prison for the rest of their life. The trial/retri costs alone are more. Sourcing the chemicals and professionals to administer them. The infrastructure.

I thought exactly about that and am wondering if the real mom wasn't the one that wanted the baby cut.

Mother and caregiver are tied in most languages and its quite damning. To mother and to father have very different connotations.

Yeah I can see why they wanted to give custody to the father... Just horrible, poor baby.

Oh, this reminds me of the rose petal murder. In that case the murdered parent was genuinely sexually abusing and trafficking their child. It’s very complicated, but I think everyone can agree that the police refused to do anything about it, with ample evidence. Which the murderer left at the murder scene for the police. A complete failure of the…

Oh, it's just an excuse, it's not the first and it won't be the last time that a woman kills and then uses the poor "victim" card of the bad man to justify the death of her child or partner.

Also you can very easily create a narcissistic injury without humiliating them in public. A minor disagreement can turn into a revenge plan. Their jelaousy…

I'm not defending the violence. She did a terrible thing, no matter what. All I'm saying is that people are too quick to jump to assuming she's a terrible person , considering the possibility that she wasn't in her right mind. If I broke into your house, injected you with a bunch of hallucinogenic drugs, and you murdered your family because the…

Why wouldn't she kill her ex instead of the baby? That would solve the perceived problem!

Why woud you wish for someone that horrible to have their suffering ended early when you can make it last? As a punishment, a life in prison is worse than the death penalty imo
