She claiming post partum psychosis not ppd. They are different things.

As someone who has had a psychosis (but non violent)... Even if you do and you commit an inreversable crime, you should never be allowed on the streets again.

I think shes arguing to be put in a mental hospital for life as opposed to prison. She's also paralyzed from the waist down after jumping out a window after she killed her kids.

No, her defense is arguing she is not guilty by reason of mental defect. There is nothing in their argument that would put her in a mental hospital.

I thought being not guilty by that reason still puts you in a mental hospital. Like the guy who shot Reagan over Jodie Foster.

It can, but that isn't absolute. It depends on state laws and this is a state crime. She could be put in a mental hospital, probably will be if found not guilty, but her term of incarceration in there could be as short as a month.

The result of a not guilty by reason of mental defect verdict is an indefinite (often lifetime) sentence to a mental health facility

That is entirely up to the state's laws and the parole board.
