@dnardo This is comical. She murdered her three kids. She deserves life in prison.

Some high school kids were talking and said “No way Gen X wrote 10-page papers without AI.”

Oh, honey.

We wrote them without reading the book…the night before they were due…by hand and in cursive.

We are not the same.

I avoided commenting on the Lindsay Clancy trial because its nuanced and emotional but the implications are enormous so I am going to say something now. A lot of people are calling that one juror who wouldn't join the other eleven irrational. But, that juror is probably the only one asking the right questions imo: where is the evidence that she lacked the capacity to know it was wrong or to stop herself? And, maybe, where do we draw the line on what an ostensibly insane person is allowed to do when the doubt the defense manufactured rests on nothing in the record before the killings? It seems that the entirety of the defense position rests on improbable probabilities and that's a low bar for such a heinous act.

1. Postpartum psychosis is rare, and almost always happens in the first 4 weeks. The idea that some psychiatrists extend the postpartum window to a year is true, but for depression and anxiety. The evidence isn't strong for psychosis, and its latching on to improbability

2. The strongest risk factor for postpartum psychosis is preexisting bipolar disorder or a prior psychotic episode. She had neither before her third child. The real time evidence from her doctors/providers indicate this. The bipolar label that showed up was after significant polypharmacy, and any good psychiatrist will tell you that you cannot diagnose primary disease when multiple drugs could be offending agents. Drug-induced psychosis would show better temporal correlations with her medications and should be a mitigation argument at sentencing. Again, very improbable alignment

3. The proxy for intent is planning, and she clearly planned... she sent her husband to some restaurant they don't normally go to, checked the drive time, texted a specific order at 5:07 pm... she killed her children in sequence. That's demonstrating real time decision making. I don't understand how they circumvented this. Again, very improbable that she was able to make decisions up until it becomes a liability

4. This idea of a "voice" that commanded her is so post-hoc as a defense. The ltierature on command hallucinations show most people don't obey them and the compliance occurs when the voice is familiar. This was a first time voice she only ever reported 2 weeks after killing her kids. And this first time voice asked her to... kill all her children AND she listened to this unfamiliar voice? Again... very improbable

The improbability is so stark that it's almost undeniably a sympathy verdict from the jurors conflated with a misunderstanding of postpartum disease. The easiest way to demonstrate this is to take a father with the same chart, months of documented depression, insomnia, suicidal ideation but no psychosis then strangles his kids after arranging for his wife to be away from the house. 100% guilty.

Everyone knows postpartum disease is real and important. Everyone knows she's sick and needed help, possibly much better management. You can even argue she is insane. What I see to be the most important is where we draw the line of what we allow under the "insanity" rule. Massachusetts forces a binary verdict of guilty or not criminally responsible but this is a case for the third that other states have and which is guilty but mentally ill. We have a responsibility to speak for the unheard voices of these children and future children and say we draw the line at murdering children.

@Jennife62087263 @RealJasonNelson No, I have 4 kids and had them in 5 years. Never, ever felt anything like her.

@CassandraRules This will become common, I can't believe where we are as a society right now

@queeniema52 She not only admitted she did it, she described how she did it to the mental health professionals

[BLAIRE WHITE @BlaireWhite]

I don't care about Lindsay Clancy's mental health.

Do you bitches think Jeffrey Dahmer didn't also have poor mental health? Ted Bundy? Every school shooter????

[Muva @keibenet]

It’s funny how post partum depression magically goes away once you off your kids.

[HNS 🇺🇸 @ShannonHeid]

@OANN Give me a break. Yes, the system needs to be addressed, but she was not ever diagnosed with Postpartum psychosis. She heard a "voice" one time, was able to answer the phone while strangling her children to death, in birth order. Never voice heard again

[HNS 🇺🇸 @ShannonHeid]

@zackpeter Love you, Zack.

[Alex Berenson @AlexBerenson]

What white women see: A victim of the medical system who faced so many burdens blah blah blah

What everyone else sees: A woman with a supportive husband and family, no money or job stress, and unlimited medical care WHO STRANGLED HER KIDS

White women, sigh
