If he is in the basement and it is necessary to text one another I would say he is not watching the situation and it could have been possible for her to hurt the kids with him right there in the house. The claim was he began working at home to help and monitor his wife's condition. I would think her requesting take out from a place far away would through up a red flag.
IDK but if it were me and I knew my spouse was suffering from PPP and had been on all those varying meds I would have made a different choice, cooked, taken them all with me, door dash or something.

It will be interesting to watch this case unfold.

Maybe he was on a call?? I mean the man's gotta pay the bills right? He was WFH in a home with 3 kids and a wife with mental issues. This wasn't his fault. If he was in the basement working on a project or on a call I dont see it odd that she texted him.

I'm sure he wishes he did take the kids with him now or hadn't gone at all!

I'm not saying it is his fault. I did not say it was his fault. I am saying that I have heard from various articles, etc. that they were well aware of her condition, that they had been seeking help and under a doctors care and that he was doing everything to assist; working from home to help with everything and to keep an eye on her because it was not good for her to be alone with the kids, going to appointments with her etc.

What was the point or the point in using that in the defense if in reality they stayed in separate parts of the house and communicated via text and he would go out for an hour or more at a time and leave her alone. It would not otherwise be odd, but she had a known condition of psychosis in which it is not unheard of for mothers to kill their children. Personally, I would want that person to be in my line of sight or at least hearng.

There's no proof that they were never around each other in the house but he worked at Microsoft so I'm sure he needed to get work done and not have his wife and 3 kids in the background all day long

In hindsight there are soo many other things they should have done but I can't imagine anyone saw this coming. He should have taken FMLA (maybe he did at some point?), she should have been hospitalized longer, they shouldnt have had a 3rd or even a 2nd kid but who knew.

That they were never around each other in the house is not in question.
Her state of mind at the time of the murders, whether she was insane or not, whether she was aware that what she was doing was wrong, is what is in question.

The prosecution is saying she did know what she was doing, that she was out and about, taking her child to a doctors appointment and that she did not seem in anyway out of sorts. They implied communication was via text so the husband would not be as aware of his wife's mental state. The defense says they were aware of her fragile state thus the husband doing WFH and accompanying her to appointments. Sounds to me like these stories conflict.

I think like most people, they never dream THEIR loved one could do THAT.

Exactly. Who would ever ever imagine this. The poor man was going to take miralax and take out dinner. He wasn't hitting up the bar or even going into the office. He was gone for about 40 min

I suspect their relationship was not going well...it almost seemed like her sending him on these errands was a big f*ck you. She didn't care what he came home to.

Ugh, din't see how it can be going well when your partner has those issues. You are no longer on equal footing, but now one is a caregiver under extreme stress.

HE could probably use a shrink now. He has to be full of what-ifs.

Of course not but now they will have to prove she was "insane" during the time she murdered her kids.

I wonder if each side gets to appoint a psychiatrist to evaluate her or if the court appoints one.
