The Gaslighting of Hannah Pettey | Post Mortem

A young mother's life was brutally cut short by a toxic husband, leaving her 2-year-old daughter with severe lead poisoning. But what's even more shocking is how the authorities and court system handled Hannah Pettey's case after her death. Her killer, Daniel Pickett, had been using lead to poison his wives' food, making it look like an accident.

The investigation that followed was criticized for being slow and ineffective, with many questions left unanswered. The court case also raised concerns about the handling of evidence and the impact on Hannah's family. Despite this, Pickett was eventually convicted of murder and sentenced to life in prison.

This case highlights a disturbing trend of domestic violence and abuse of power within the justice system. It's a sobering reminder that not everyone who commits a heinous crime will face consequences, leaving victims' families with a lifetime of pain and uncertainty.
 
The justice system needs a major overhaul ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ. Slow investigations and botched evidence handling can leave victims' families with a never-ending nightmare ๐Ÿ˜ฉ. We need to do better for Hannah & her kiddo ๐Ÿ’”.
 
this case is really messed up ๐Ÿคฏ. i mean, you'd think the authorities would take it super seriously when there's a 2-year-old involved, but instead it just feels like they're going through the motions. slow investigation, questions left unanswered... it's like they're waiting for someone else to step in and fix things. and meanwhile, poor Hannah Pettey is dead because of her husband's toxic behavior ๐Ÿ˜ข. it's not just about him, either - think about what his actions would do to a child who was already traumatized by their own mom's death. the fact that he was using lead to poison his wives' food, making it look like an accident... that's just sick ๐Ÿ’€. it's infuriating that the justice system didn't do more to stop him sooner. this case is a clear example of how domestic violence can be enabled and even covered up by those in power ๐Ÿ‘ฎโ€โ™€๏ธ.
 
๐Ÿ™„ I mean, what's the point of having laws and investigations if they're just gonna get watered down by bureaucracy? I guess it's one thing to say you're gonna take action, but when it comes down to it, you gotta actually follow through... or in this case, follow up on a 2-year-old lead (lol, toxic humor ๐Ÿ˜’). Anyways, it's super sad that Hannah Pettey and her daughter are going through this. You'd think with all the advancements we have today, we should be able to identify and stop perpetrators like Daniel Pickett way sooner. It just goes to show that sometimes justice is a slow process... and not always guaranteed ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™€๏ธ.
 
I'm so angry about this one ๐Ÿคฏ... I mean, can't we do better than this? The fact that the investigation was slow and ineffective is just mind-boggling to me. And then you have the court case where they're questioning everything - like, what exactly happened to Hannah's body? How did they even determine it wasn't an accident? It's like they didn't want to see the truth.

And let's not forget about Daniel Pickett himself... using lead as a poison, that's just horrific. I can only imagine how scared and helpless Hannah must have felt while she was going through this. 2 years old is way too young to lose her mum - it's just heartbreaking ๐Ÿ’”. We need to make sure we're supporting our victims and their families, not just throwing them some crumbs of justice. We need more support for survivors of domestic violence and a more effective system in place. This case needs to be a wake-up call for us all ๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿ’ช
 
๐Ÿค• I'm so frustrated with how slow the investigation was in this case. A young mom is brutally murdered by her toxic husband and it takes months to figure out what really happened? And to make matters worse, the court case was all over the place - they should've been more thorough with evidence handling... ๐Ÿ˜’

And can we talk about how ridiculous it is that a killer like this gets life in prison? I mean, come on! The fact that he thought he could just poison his wives and get away with it is insane. It's not okay that the system didn't catch on sooner. ๐Ÿ˜ก What kind of justice is that for Hannah's family? A lifetime of pain and uncertainty... no way, that's not right.
 
๐Ÿคฌ I'm so bloody livid about this case! How can someone get away with such heinous crimes? The fact that the authorities were slow to act and didn't do enough to protect Hannah and her daughter is just appalling. And now she's gone, leaving behind a little girl who'll never know her mum in all the years of therapy needed. And let me tell you, it's not just about the justice system, it's about how we as a society tolerate this kind of abuse. We need to do better, we need to listen to women and take their cases seriously. This is why I'm so passionate about fighting for victims' rights online ๐Ÿ˜ก
 
๐Ÿšจ This case is literally giving me the chills! I mean, can you even imagine being in Hannah's shoes, knowing what was happening behind closed doors? The fact that her daughter is now dealing with lead poisoning is just heartbreaking ๐Ÿ’”.

What really gets my goat is how slow and botched the investigation was. It's like, we need to do better than this! Faster, more thorough investigations are a must, especially in cases of domestic violence. And what about all those unanswered questions? It's like, where was the system supposed to be on Hannah's case? ๐Ÿค”

And don't even get me started on the court case itself... it's just so frustrating when we see victims' families not getting the justice they deserve. Pickett should've been held accountable from day one! This case is a perfect example of how we need to work towards improving our justice system, especially when it comes to domestic violence cases ๐Ÿ’ช.
 
I'm so confused about this whole thing ๐Ÿคฏ... I mean, on one hand, I think the authorities did the best they could under such a horrific situation, but at the same time, I really feel like they dropped the ball big time ๐Ÿ˜ฉ. I mean, shouldn't they have been able to catch the guy sooner? And how could they not see that it was a case of murder instead of an accident? ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ

But on another hand, can we even blame them for everything? I mean, this is still a very complex and sensitive situation, right? ๐Ÿค” The court system has to deal with so many other cases at once, and it's not like they're just going to magically fix every single one of them. And as for the evidence handling... I don't know, man, that's all just speculation ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that this whole thing makes me super frustrated, but at the same time, it also kinda depresses me ๐Ÿ˜”. Like, how can we even expect things to get any better when there are cases like this? ๐Ÿ™„
 
๐Ÿค• This whole thing is just so messed up. I mean, can't believe what happened to Hannah and her little one ๐Ÿคฑโ€โ™€๏ธ. The fact that she was poisoned by lead while it was supposed to be an accident... it's like, how do you even plan for that? And the authorities, they didn't exactly cover themselves in glory either ๐Ÿ‘Ž. I mean, slow investigation, unanswered questions... it's just a recipe for disaster. And then to top it all off, the guy gets life in prison ๐Ÿšซ. It doesn't feel like justice was served, you know? The family is still left with so much pain and uncertainty... ugh, it's just heartbreaking ๐Ÿ’”.
 
๐Ÿค• this is so heartbreaking what happened to Hannah & her little one ๐ŸŒผ I cant even imagine how they must've felt those few yrs after... the system failed them in the worst way ๐Ÿ’” it's like a never ending nightmare for victims & their fams, still getting answers & closure but never finding peace ๐Ÿ˜ฉ at least now Pickett's behind bars life sentence is the bare mininum for what he did tho ๐Ÿšซ hope Hannah's daughter grows up w/ support & care 2 get thru this traumatic exp ๐Ÿคž
 
I gotta say, this whole thing just gives me chills ๐Ÿ˜ฑ. I mean, think about it, the guy who killed Hannah gets life in prison, but what's to stop him from getting a pardon or parole after 20 years? It's like the system is saying "sorry, guys" and then just letting him out into the wild again ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ.

And what really grinds my gears is that we're talking about this case 10 years later, but where were all these people when Hannah was still alive? Why didn't anyone say something sooner? It's like, we're so caught up in trying to protect our own interests and reputations that we don't even notice the warning signs until it's too late ๐Ÿšจ.

I'm not saying I want to see Daniel Pickett out on the streets, but do we really need to give him a blank check just because he's already served his time? It feels like we're just kicking the can down the road and expecting everyone else to deal with the consequences ๐Ÿ’”.
 
I'm so over this ๐Ÿคฏ. Like, what's the point of even having laws if they're just gonna get watered down because some dude thought it was funny to poison his wife's food? I mean, come on, using lead as a toxic trick is not exactly subtle ๐Ÿ˜‚. And don't even get me started on the court case - all those red flags being ignored and then somehow it still goes in their favor ๐Ÿ™„. It's like they thought, 'Oh, he's just a bad husband, let's give him a slap on the wrist'. Newsflash: that's not how justice works! The fact that Hannah's daughter is still going to have to deal with this trauma for the rest of her life is just heartbreaking ๐Ÿ˜”. Can't we do better than this? ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ
 
You know what really gets me is how slow the investigation was... I mean, 2 years? That's like, an eternity for a family to be going through this kinda trauma. And what's even more frustrating is that it was like the system was sleepwalking through it all - investigating and re-investigating without really getting to the bottom of things. And then you got to the court case and it was like, okay, they finally figured some stuff out... but at what cost? The family's been through so much already and now they're stuck dealing with the aftermath of a trial that may have given their daughter more suffering than if the killer had just gotten the death penalty. It's all just so... ugh ๐Ÿ˜ฉ๐Ÿ’”
 
OMG ๐Ÿคฏ this is literally heartbreaking... I mean, how can someone do such a thing to an innocent 2-year-old? And the fact that it was covered up like it was an accident is just appalling ๐Ÿ˜ก. The investigation was so slow, it's like they were trying to make sure Pickett got away with it. And the court case? Forget about it ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™€๏ธ. I mean, Hannah's family has been through enough without having to deal with all that drama and not getting justice for what happened.

And can we talk about how our justice system is so flawed? Like, we're supposed to be a society that values fairness and equality, but when it comes down to it, sometimes the powerful and wealthy get away with murder ๐Ÿ’”. It's like they say in The Handmaid's Tale, "offred is more than just a narrative" - Hannah's story should be one of justice, not another tragic tale of domestic violence ๐Ÿ“š.
 
๐Ÿšจ This whole thing is just wild. I mean, can you believe how slow the investigation was? 2 years?! That's crazy. And what really gets me is that they didn't seem to catch on until after Hannah died. It's like they were looking for a reason to convict him, not actually trying to solve the case.

I'm also kinda shocked that he only got life in prison. I mean, it's not like he just did one murder. He killed two people and hurt his daughter bad. You'd think he'd get more time, but I guess that's just how the system is sometimes. It's all so frustrating for Hannah's family. They've been through enough already
 
I'm so sad about Hannah Pettey's tragic story ๐Ÿค•, but you know what really gets me? The fact that her killer was able to evade justice for so long is just heartbreaking ๐Ÿ˜”. I mean, can't we do better as a society? I think it's time we reevaluate our approach to supporting victims of domestic violence and abuse... and also make sure those in power are held accountable ๐Ÿ’ช.

I'm glad the court case finally led to some accountability for Daniel Pickett, but the fact that many questions were left unanswered is really concerning ๐Ÿค”. And what about Hannah's poor daughter? That little girl will have a lifetime of emotional scars from her mom's tragic death... it's just devastating ๐Ÿ˜ญ.

You know what they say: "Justice delayed is justice denied" โฐ, and in this case, it was far too long coming. But I'm still hopeful that we can learn from this tragedy and create positive change for families affected by domestic violence ๐ŸŒŸ.
 
omg this is so frustrating ๐Ÿคฏ I cant even believe what happened to Hannah & her daughter... it's like they were already going through so much with the lead poisoning & now this toxic guy gets away with murder? ๐Ÿ˜ฑ the investigation was super slow & it feels like the authorities didn't do enough to protect them. and can you imagine how hard it must've been for Hannah's family dealing with all this drama behind closed doors? ๐Ÿคฏ its not just about the husband, its about the system that failed them... what can we do to make sure ppl like Daniel Pickett get caught sooner? ๐Ÿ’”
 
I'm still shaking my head about this one... ๐Ÿค• The fact that Hannah Pettey's husband got away with murder for so long is just infuriating! ๐Ÿ˜ก I mean, come on, using lead to poison food? That's like something out of a horror movie. And the investigation was slow? Unbelievable! I'm sure it would've made a huge difference if they'd taken this case more seriously from the start.

And don't even get me started on the justice system... ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ It's supposed to protect us, not let serial killers like Daniel Pickett walk free. The fact that he was convicted and sentenced to life is great, but it's just a drop in the bucket compared to how much pain and suffering his victims endured.

This case really highlights the need for better support systems for survivors of domestic violence... ๐Ÿค And we need to make sure our justice system is doing everything it can to keep us safe. ๐Ÿ’ฏ It's just not okay that people like Pickett are allowed to abuse their power and get away with it for so long.
 
I'm still trying to wrap my head around this whole thing ๐Ÿคฏ. I mean, the fact that Daniel Pickett was able to get away with murder for so long is just infuriating ๐Ÿ˜ก. The investigation took forever and it's crazy they didn't catch on sooner. And then to think he had to use lead poisoning to make it look like an accident... what a sick and twisted mind ๐Ÿ’€.

But you know what really gets me? The fact that this case highlights the bigger issue of domestic violence and abuse of power in our justice system ๐Ÿšจ. It's just not fair to the victims' families who are left to pick up the pieces and deal with the trauma all over again ๐Ÿ˜”. And it makes me wonder how many other cases like Hannah Pettey's go unreported or unsolved. We need to do better, you know? Better for our justice system, better for victims of abuse, and better for society as a whole ๐ŸŒŽ.
