what any public trial should remind you is to stay out of the court system if you can help it 😅 you do NOT want a jury of your peers deciding a anything about your life, your peers are STUPID
Since the Lindsay Clancy trial started I’ve learned majority of people believe in “innocent until proven guilty” if it’s their friends, their family or their favourite footballers, but not when it’s a woman.
THIS. Because folks on this app seem to believe anyone receiving a punishment for this is better than actually investigating who did it. Understanding reasonable doubt seems to be really hard for some of you
It’s obvious to anyone that watched the trial that whether or not you believe that Lindsay did it, the prosecution failed to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that she killed the kids, or that she was of sound mind at the time— Which means legally they have to find her not guilty.
We all know if it were 11-1 guilty, the state would be fighting to have that juror replaced. They just want a mistrial so they get another chance. It shouldn’t matter what the split is. If ANY juror says they aren’t going to follow the law, they have no business being on a jury. #LindsayClancy #LindsayClancyTrial
@smaquita__@PissTaker069 It’s not. The law states you need to find someone guilty without reasonable doubt, if there’s doubt they’re not guilty and it was brought to the judge that ONE juror was not applying the law. They were going off of emotion and that’s why there was a mistrial
the Clancy case is proof that most of you would not make good jurors. it’s not your job as a juror to play morality police. you are strictly to examine the evidence presented in court & decide your verdict. not be the harbinger of what your opinion of justice is.
There is a HUGE difference between one juror genuinely disagreeing with the other 11 and a juror saying they have reasonable doubt but don’t care and aren’t going to follow the law. Being the lone holdout isn’t the problem. Refusing to apply the law is. #LindsayClancy #LindsayClancyTrial
I can tell by the reactions on Twitter many are not educated on how the law works or women who experience postpartum psychosis
Many going based on personal feelings
