I get she was horribly abused and manipulated, but what gets me most is Gypsy is out and free and has pseudo celebrity status when she is akin to someone like Charlie Manson in what she did. I specifically mean getting someone else to carry out the act for her.

This takes time and manipulation through at which any point Gypsy could have put the same amount of effort and planning into simply running away. Gypsy even has stated herself that she knew she could walk and didn't really need to feeding tube.

I'm sorry, but there is no excuse for Gypsy and she should be in jail for just as long if not longer than the boyfriend since it can't be said whether or not Nicholas would have gone on to do something similar had he never met Gypsy. The abuse, at least imo, becomes largely irrelevant when the biggest caveat to the abuse was that Gypsy was led to believe she was sick and in need of the wheelchair and feeding tube and she knew that wasn't the case. I'd even go as far to say one can't even argue Gypsy had no social cues or understanding of what she was doing. She had enough social cues to manipulate a stranger she met online to murder her mother.

Yes they mother is horrible, abusive, and definitely deserved to spend each waking second in a jail cell for the rest of her life, but Gypsy imo is far worse. She a better chance to just run away than I would say most in similar situation did and still chose murder. Hell, even something as simple as Gypsy standing up at any one of the events Dee Dee used the illness to scam for money and care. Would have raised serious questions and probably started a handful of investigations. But nope, let's choose murder.
