However the prosecution did offer two mitigating factors which reduced the sentence demanded from the usual life imprisonment: her job and its contribution to society, and her lack of a criminal record. What the fuck?
That is fucked.
Full context is she seems to be suffering from depression, which caused her to commit the crime. The conditions for her suspended sentence include going to counselling.
Of course the rich person walks free.This is why I just support the guillotine approach. You rich and commited a crime? OFF WITH YA HEAD. Would make these assholes consider twice about screwing people over for becoming rich.
What was the reason she pre-meditated the murder of her own child? Depression is not a reason
Because they worked so well in France.
I know depression is sometimes why mothers smother their children, but I think that's more often due to post-partum depression. It's possible she just became nihilistic, but the article doesn't really give any information so it's all guess work.
Oops. I got the name wrong, but I was actually referring to this. I think it's pretty rare though and obviously not relevant here since Yahnich explained why the mother did it in this case. https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/mother-severe-postnatal-depression-smothered-8789883
Fortunately this approach has been done before so we can have an estimation of how it would go if we did it again. Unfortunately, it really didnt work out even for the non-rich. I'd really recommend reading about France's Reign of Terror some time.
"Sparse with details" doesn't cover it, the article gives no indication whatsoever of this sort of context
I fucking knew it. First second I looked at this thread, I thought to myself "the kid was terminally ill or something, and that makes the whole situation understandable". I was honestly surprised when the article didn't seem to be saying anything about it.
ya especially since there's no fucking way she can work as a neurosurgeon anymore
Thank you for clarifying this. I was about ready to toss the lady in a pit and throw away the key. The article is criminally negligent on details. She had planned her daughter’s funeral and eulogy, which sounds absolutely despicable without the context.
The situation was understandable but as a neurosurgeon you'd think she'd have access to more humane methods of ending her daughter's life. She must have been really fucked up to do it the way she did. I feel for her though, even more for her victim.
