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. She had pleaded not guilty to murder, arguing she was suffering severe depression that could be traced back to postpartum depression, reports the AP . Lauren Dickason at first tried to kill her children using zip ties and then suffocated them with pillows. Radio New Zealand reported that Dickason was motionless in the dock as the verdict was read out in Christchurch High Court, then cried quietly as she left. (Read more postpartum depression stories.)
