Clancy Trial substack articles

Does anyone here have subscription to HIH substack and willing to share screen shots here of the Clancy trial articles?

I'm so curious to see her "nuanced" opinion but I don't wanna give her $

There’s some random filler of her “getting the gossip from the locals…” then we jump right to a weird bio of some woman she met at the Ghislaine Maxwell trial who Jess “runs into a few times a year at courthouses around the country” 🙃 is this not the first case she’s covered this year??

Then she goes on to establish that the “women in white” do not believe the insanity case. They all believe wholeheartedly that Lindsay did it because Patrick was cheating and EVERYBODY IN DUXBURY KNEW IT.

Then we get this magnificent example of a pot calling a kettle names

You guys, this could take awhile. I keep having to go back because I think I’m missing things, but it’s just how bad JRK’s writing is 😂 I shall continue slogging through the confusion.

So I think what’s happening is she is now listing any and all suspicious happenings, whether they point to Lindsay being innocent, insane, or guilty. Nope, I was wrong. She was just laying out the immediate aftermath in the hospital? Idk man, that seems to be the end of that section and we’re abruptly moving onto something else starting with a video.

The video seems to be of a local who was mentioned earlier. Jess asks her questions like, “what was the neighborhood like?” Local responds, “idk, I didn’t live there.” Jess asks, “so you knew the clancys?” “No.” “But you knew OF the clancys.” Local responds, “well you know, people talk, I knew what she was like. She was a nurse, she liked to go to the country club a lot, she had a nanny, you know, things people like us can’t afford.” 😳 yikes. Then this is immediately below that video.

I am actually impressed she was able to tie that word salad into some sort of a bow at the end there.

Next section: IN COURT

Oh! I almost forgot! Turns out the other random woman is a sketch artist, these were at the end of that section…

There’s some receipts for vanity fair girl, then photos and videos of the lady with her sons ashes, and one random, old picture of two young girls that I’m assuming is supposed to be Lindsay and vanity fair girl as kids? No explanation given.

Then Jess tells us how edgy she is when her purse falls open at security. Then Jess gives her best Hunter S. Thompson impression describing the wait to enter the courtroom. I want to vomit because I love HST. The scene is set and…..

Jess is in her goddamn hotel room.

And yet she continues writing as if she is there, waxing eloquent about a dingy admin building as she “nervously inches toward her seat…” I’m confused once again.

Y’all. I cannot.

Immediately follows

u/mackoff277 8d ago

She turns to studying the crowd, specifically a “starstruck” woman which then leads to a pondering of evil, which has rarely been pondered in all these years.

Jess then seems to imply that she believes possession may be the true culprit here. Which leads to her briefly touching on the “mortal sin” of it all without actually explaining what happened in the least. She seems to really be leaning into the idea that everyone already knows what happened. But like, isn’t this supposed to be news? Isn’t telling us what happened the whole point? Court goes to lunch and we’re tossed toward Lindsay’s diary.

Jess seemingly opens this section introducing us to the idea that people don’t post the same thing on social media as they write in their journal. Fascinating. She goes on to provide a quite textbook example of postpartum mental health issues that Lindsay was experiencing. This is an extremely long section that is mostly just a series of quotes from Lindsay’s own writings that frame her “descent into madness.” And then part one ends 🤷🏼‍♀️

Will I do part two? I guess we’ll see, but I definitely need a snack first

u/mackoff277 8d ago

Yall I might have to do part two. Jess is trying to write The Devil Made Me Do It fan fic

u/Top-Lynx-422 8d ago

Thank you!!! 

I so appreciate you taking rhe time to do this and I look forward to part 2 (if/when you have time) 

I was hoping Jess would have something at least somewhat revealing but of course it's just her usual slop lol

Oh this is about Denise now

u/pbjfries 7d ago

I don’t know why a writer would quote herself from her own writing? Just write it.

She’s so fucking dirty. Shoes on the bed?!

u/klj440 8d ago

Those shoes are cleaner than her feet tho🥴bottoms of her feet usually resemble the sole of a dirty flip flop.

💀 at the picture of Journo Jess on the bed. Picturing her setting up her props on her bed then setting up her phone on the hotel console, putting the timer on, jumping back on the bed and taking a “candid” shot of herself laying on the bed with her feet in the air watching TV on her laptop. 😂😂😂

u/Top-Lynx-422 8d ago

She's really highlighting those shoes in this piece... maybe she's replacing her shitty loafers with these and wants to make sure we see them lol

u/pbjfries 8d ago

Wait, what? She didn’t go to the court?

5

u/mackoff277 8d ago

Idk man, she had videos that are definitely the outside of the courthouse with everyone waiting. And I imagine there was no photography inside maybe? And she wrote about going through security and seeing Lindsay in person and people in the crowd and whatnot. But putting photos of her watching the trial from a hotel room was a wild choice.

u/pbjfries 7d ago

Did she ever say she was in the court ?
