One Reddit user said “Don’t forget all the surgeries she underwent because her mother made up symptoms. Frankly, had I been on her jury, I would’ve nullified. It wasn’t murder, it was self defense.”

And another: “It’s not like the poor girl is likely to kill again, and it’s not like anyone could reasonably say they would do better in such a nightmare situation. Yeah, she was involved in a murder which is illegal, but morally I cannot fault her.”

And the saddest comment of all: “She did an interview somewhat recently and said that she felt more free in literal prison, than she did under her mothers care.”
