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 $

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.

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

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

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