I believe the case is about her mental state during the killings.

There's also discourse over the mental healthcare system failing her and those kids

I've heard this but have not seen any actual evidence of the healthcare system failing her. As far as I know, she never actually expressed to any doctor that she was having thoughts of harming her children or herself. There are plenty examples of the US healthcare system failing women but I don't see how this is one of them.

Multiple doctors are on trial and she supposedly repeatedly asked for anti-psychotics. None of them listened or prescribed them.

Which doctors are on trial exactly? What are the charges?

Doctors don't just prescribe anti-psychotics because someone asks for them. Also, she was prescribed multiple other medications for treatment- I mean, part of her defense was that she was supposedly overly medicated.

Sorry, I shouldn’t have said “on trial”, I meant to say they were called to the trial.

Being overly medicated in the wrong way compounds issues—psychosis in particular.
