Maybe a hot take, but if you visit the hospital/er 5+ times after giving birth, have a history of postpartum depression and probable postpartum psychosis, your husband is arguing with the doctors on your behalf, they keep giving you SSRIs when she's had bad reactions in the past to them, she's talked about hearing voices to her doctor. She's called the suicide hotline and gone to the ER for suicidal ideation, and hinted that the voice wants her to kill her kids then...
Don't switch her to a new SSRI and then discharge her immediately.
Don't leave her alone with her kids.
Consult an OGBYN
Prioritize her.
It's pretty fucked how many people failed her in a traumatic way, and ultimately failed those kids too.
I think even in this thread there's some misunderanding about how serious of an ailment postpartum psychosis can be. I've seen someone else with it and thankfully she went to the psych ward immediately and was helped find the right med and feels better now. She said similar things about wanting to hurt her child and felt like she was becoming a sociopath. It's not common, and most people stigmatized mental health conditions and probably 10x for psychosis. I think that's the bare minimum of understanding needed before you should even have kids just in case, because doctors can miss it, like in her case.
That doesn't answer my question. What makes the evidence absolute? From what I've heard the investigation was far from thorough and there's reasonable suspicion that the husband committed the act. I'm not saying that is what happened, I'm asking what makes you so sure it's not
I'm not really following the case closely, but what I understand is that it's pretty clear cut that she murdered her children. IIRC, the reason why TikTok white women are on her side is because the doctors "didn't help her" even though they were trying everything. Yet, she still lost it and murdered them. Definitely not an accident either - strangulation with some kind of rope IIRC
I'm also not following closely but I know that the strangulation method was with exercise bands and there's a documented history of post partum depression and there's question if it was being properly attended. I haven't seen anything that makes anything clear cut

This is true no matter what other factors come into the situation
Is the evidence against her good?
I don't think there's any dispute she killed them, its a question of culpability, whether she actually knew what she was doing.
What evidence specifically?

What I know is all secondhand from my partner who would probably be categorized with those in this meme even without using that superficial reasoning
