Justice or Excuse?

Three children were murdered. So why is so much of the conversation focused on protecting the person who killed them?
In this solo edition of Outside The Wire, Trent examines a mother’s admitted killing of her three children and the defense’s claim that postpartum psychosis diminished her responsibility. Trent argues that mental illness may help explain an action, but it does not erase the victims or eliminate the need for justice.
Drawing on Immanuel Kant’s philosophy of punishment, Trent makes the case for capital punishment—not as revenge, deterrence, or spectacle, but as the consequence deserved for deliberately taking innocent lives.
The question is brutally simple: when guilt is not disputed, should psychological illness change what justice requires?
