💨 Abstract

Joanne Sharkey, a woman suffering from post-natal depression, was given a suspended prison sentence for smothering her newborn son in 1998. Her son's body was found 25 years later when her other son was arrested. Sharkey was fearful of becoming a mother again and developed a depressive illness that impaired her judgment.
