Not Guilty by Reason of Insanity doesn't automatically send Lindsay Clancy to a mental hospital. And there's no guaranteed life sentence. The court can order her hospitalized for psychiatric evaluation (up to 40 days).
Then, in order to keep her there, the gov has to establish:
(1) She's mentally ill
(2) She's a threat to herself/others
AND (3) there isn't a less restrictive alternative
That would then lead to her being institutionalized for 6 months to a 1 year. And possibly re-evaluated after that.
IDK about you, but that doesn't feel like justice for three innocent kids that lost their lives to a mother that planned their execution.
A juror has reasonable doubt.
You don’t get to bully them into changing their mind or “replacing” them if they aren’t going your way.
Seriously, what’s with this defense attorney?
@washghost1 He made around 400,000 a year give or take. Those kids were in daycare 9am to 4pm… she had a nanny. He worked from home. Parents, his parents, sister, doctors, working out, friends .. wtf else could someone help her with?
Lindsay Clancy does not appear to be planning on spending the rest of her life at Tewksbury.
According to the records discussed in court, her hopes for the future include becoming an advocate for postpartum psychosis awareness and participating in a wheelchair marathon.
Those are not the goals of someone imagining a life permanently confined to a state hospital.
Perhaps she is especially motivated to leave because she doesn’t find the food appealing there.
Good thing she seems to get plenty of outside food brought in.
@Joses_World@901Lulu In reality, keeping the entire set of neck structures is the normal and expected procedure in cases like this. That’s why the second pathologist didn’t have them… not because something shady happened, but because the first ME followed standard forensic protocol.
@RachelZader@imadriienne The point wasn’t about half-lives. It was that switching and tapering meds over months produces a long cumulative list of past prescriptions even if the patient is only on a few at any one time.
