Yeesh - enough on the engineers! We're not bad jurors just because there has been one or two that were. There have been plenty of other juries with engineers, where the engineer was all for guilty too. A bit of grounding in logic and detail oriented thinking is not a bad thing.
Now - a mystery book reader - that one would worry me in another trial - too likely to be looking for the twist that a fictional book would always have in it.
Depression isn't enough - it makes you kill yourself - not your kids. She's got nowhere near the record, thus far, to indicate any type of insanity of a variety that would place her so far alienated from the world of reason as to think that killing her kids was the right thing. Yates, yes, this case, no way - nothing thus far is remotely close.
Hello, Details! Been awhile since I posted with you. I thought of you when I read the "engineer" post. Had to laugh out loud. Of course, you are right. Just because an engineer side-tracked the first PS trial does not mean you guys are bad jurors.
You are also right about depression. Mania drives people to kill - not depression. Now, if one is a manic-depressive and only takes meds for depression, that could lead to increasing the manic side - which does cause people to kill.
If she is manic-depressive, the doctor/s should have been treating the manic side as well, with something like lithium. Any word on whether she was/is being treated for both?
