I’m the last person who would ever make excuses for a mother who hurts, let alone murders her children. But after 3.5 years and weeks of trial testimony, one thing that hasn’t been broached is Lindsay’s metabolic health and whether what she was suffering from had more to do with her quest to be “healthy” than with birthing three babies in five years.
