Tragic Conviction: New Zealand Mother Guilty of Killing 3 Daughters

TL;DR Summary
A New Zealand mother, Lauren Dickason, has been found guilty of murdering her three young daughters, despite her defense claiming she was mentally ill at the time. Dickason had admitted to killing her 2-year-old twin daughters and their 6-year-old sister at their home in Timaru. Prosecutors argued that her depression was not enough to warrant a medical defense and presented evidence of troubling phone messages and online searches. Dickason's husband, a medical professional, returned home to find his children dead. The guilty verdicts came after a four-week trial, and Dickason faces a sentence of life imprisonment.
