Lauren Dickson claimed she was mentally disturbed at the time and didn't know what she was doing was wrong. The jury wasn't convinced.
— A New Zealand jury on Wednesday found a mother guilty of murdering her three young daughters after rejecting her defense that she was so mentally ill at the time she couldn't be held responsible.
They pointed to Dickason's troubling phone messages and online history in the weeks before the killings, including comments about wanting to kill her children and Google searches for"most effective overdose in kids." Graham Dickason, an orthopedic surgeon, returned from a work dinner to find his children dead. He later told police he knew his wife was struggling with her mental health and with motherhood but had no idea she was capable of killing.
Dickason's parents issued a statement saying the deaths were the result of their daughter's debilitating mental illness.
