Not Carol

Carol’s case has attracted national attention. Emotional outbursts, expert witnesses, antiquated legal statutes - these are among the deciding factors that will determine whether Carol Coronado is headed to a hospital ward or a prison cell.

Carol’s courtroom prosecution begins; a murder trial in all it’s gory glory. The LA District Attorney’s office goes full steam ahead to put Carol Coronado away forever.

Carol Coronado checks just about every box when it comes to postpartum complications - 3 children within 30 months, sleep deprivation, domestic strife, financial hardship, childhood, trauma, isolation, and the list goes on. Disaster is imminent, but no one knows it.

What happens if you don’t feel elated after you have your child, the way everyone tells you you should be feeling. What happens when you feel helpless, anxious, overwhelmed and detached? Are you a horrible mother if you hide your feelings?

With none of her family or friends trained to look for warning signs, Carol Coronado slips into a postpartum psychosis and takes the lives of her three precious daughters.
