First degree has to be pre-meditated.

Can't she just plead insanity. I mean, that seems to be the case.

Pleading insanity isn’t a get out of jail free card. It just means you’d go to a different jail with “hospital” in the title along with all the other insane people.

It’s still jail and it’s still awful.

I know, but I think she's heading to psych hospital (Bridgewater), not prison. Although, maybe she'll go to prison afterwards.

Yeah true, but Bridgewater is when I meant by “a prison with hospital in the title.” It’s still a prison.

I am sure that is what will happen. She will go to Bridgewater.

It can be interpreted as either 1st or 2nd, as strangling usually is intended to kill

Uh it takes quite a bit to strangle one person, not just 3.

Psychosis would likely render that impossible anyways, I’d see this being “not fit to stand trial.”

I am just letting the person I answered know what is necessary for a first degree murder charge.

I got you, I just mean that strangling 3 people seems like it would have to be pre-meditated after the 1st one was killed. This case is different, though.
