@Emerald Has your position changed any on this or are you still confident in your initial assessment? 

I still have the same point of view as before. 

I don't think her claim of NGRI is true. I believe she lucidly killed her children with full intent... and not because she was in psychosis.

But because of how Massachusetts law operates, it may be impossible to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that she wasn't legally insane when killing her kids. That's just such a hard (if not impossible) thing to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt.

Though, I think this case would be pretty open and shut if the burden of proof were on the defense to prove her NGRI.

I haven't followed it. What's her likely motive?

The people online who are claiming she didn't even kill her kids have reached levels of retardation unseen of before

Of course, only she knows what her motive is. And there are many potentials motives that a murderous mother could have for killing her children. 

I just don't believe that she was legally insane when she did it. I think it was a deliberate choice made within her regular mental state.

That’s how I see it

I mean yeah, but also, you can't know for certain with our current evidence what went through her head exactly. Best you can do is estimate, and I personally estimate that she's culpable, IE. she knew it was wrong.
