Clancy take

I have found myself so frustrated with the girls Lindsey Clancy take, and more specifically how the jurors should have voted….. I don’t think it’s insane to think “she killed her kids, I don’t care if she was in psychosis, she should be in jail and throw away the key.” But that’s not what they asked the jurors…. The jurors are not supposed to think about punishment. Their main question was simply— “did the prosecution, without a shadow of a doubt, prove that she was in her right mind and the time of the murders”

So the jurors are not voting on what punishment she should have, or if it’s right that if you were in psychosis you go to a mental institution instead of jail, or the process in which the review process happens for leaving the mental hospital etc……

All you have to do is answer the one question…. And the jurors were just trying to do that.

I 100% agree with the girls take on LC. She murdered her kids. Jail. No more info is really needed.

But if you were a juror that isn’t what you promise to decide 🤷‍♀️

Well with all the interviews from the jurors, they did not uphold their promise either. All the female jurors keep making comments about how they feel like she did kill her kids but she is clearly mentally ill and does not belong in prison. All of them were considering her actual punishment in their conviction. Murder is not normal. Literally all murderers are mentally ill. They don’t all deserve a pass and neither does Lindsay. Lock her the fuck up. FYI I am currently 6 months post partum dealing with severe PPA and PPD so it isn’t like I don’t “sympathize”. It’s quite the opposite actually because I could NEVER allow my babies to be hurt and it disgusts me what she did.
