Clancy’s entire “insanity” defense rests completely on the claim that she “heard a voice” telling her to kill her kids. The problem is: 1) There’s no way to prove or disprove an imaginary voice. Any murderer can make this claim and if it counts as “reasonable doubt” then we can never convict anyone of anything ever again. 2) She never reported this voice before or since the crime, strongly indicating that she made it up. 3) Most importantly, even if she DID hear a voice, why didn’t she refuse to follow the command? If a voice told me to murder my children, I would refuse. If the voice threatened and harassed me, I’d still refuse. If an actual real human told me to kill my kids and put a gun to my head, I would still refuse. If this imaginary voice did appear, Clancy could have chosen not to obey it. Instead, by her telling, the voice spoke exactly one time and she just immediately complied with what it told her to do. Not even a moment of pushback. Even if I bought that bullshit, which I don’t, she would still be guilty as hell.
To crush the cider-pressers, to see their barrels driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of their orchards.

A good question for senior leaders right now would be, if you had to take Iwo Jima again, how, with what resources, what would be the acceptable casualty rate, etc.?
