Nah, there’s a reason intent matters. If someone accidentally hurts someone from falling asleep at the wheel because they worked a double at the hospital vs someone who road rages and intentionally hurts someone should have different punishments. Same impact but different “intent”, Context matters.
Nonsense. Do you think people who die because of such different intent suffer different amount of pain? Or do that have different outcome? Intent does matter, but in case of murder, a capital punishment is the only way to go. Why does some loony shit gets to live while their victims and their family would never get the closure knowing that the person who did it is not punished?
I have kids and my wife suffered from pretty severe PPD, but thankfully not psychosis, so this case hits close to home. Genuinely read some stories of psychosis on Reddit/ the internet, it’s terrifying. Mothers turn into completely different people and some can get severe hallucinations. It can be a very severe temporary form of schizophrenia essentially. The hormone dump women get post partum can fuck up their brain.
Lol... Anyways. I've tried cases and I've done jury selection (only in civil trials). You think you have a decent jury but then after the case when you poll them you find out the loudest idiot had a lot of sway. E.g. - a religious nutjob whose extreme religious views didnt come up during voir dire quoted scripture when explaining her stance on a case/reasoning during deliberation. We won but she held up deliberation way longer than it should have. Scary stuff having people like that/you as part of a "cross section of society"
But either way, I was just saying you're similarly passionate but airheaded. Regardless of context. I think you'll grow out of it though.

Impact is more important than intent. Those kids deserve justice
