Never heard of them

Mindless drivel, go read a book

Patrick did it.

Don't know, don't care.

No, it's not illegal for a juror to come to a different conclusion than the rest of the panel. people are so annoying.

I know enough to know that I don't know enough to make an informed opinion.

Who?

And what makes you think that, other than that's what a tioktok psychic told you?

She's a Leo, so that's the only evidence I need to hear

Colonel Mustard, in the library, with the candlestick.

I don't have any.

Juries should not make medical decisions anyway.

Apparently that conclusion contradicted "reasonable doubt", by the way.

Kids these days, always wanting to analyze contemporary legal proceedings and understand how they might shape their lives and communities instead of reading a book. How foolish.

I think it's a damning shame that she didn't receive the help she needed and asked for. I fear that she, like so many others, will simply be labeled a "bad person" and hidden away to save us all the trouble of dealing with the very difficult problems of depression and psychosis, especially the ones that occur when someone is "receiving treatment". Treatment for a lot of mental health disorders is still pretty shoddy and the effects of the medications we use are hard to predict on the individual level. Very difficult to measure too. I hope that we, humans, can come to find a more serious and empathetic response to people who are dealing with mental health struggles, and maybe find a way to prevent tragedies like this one.

I hope she and those close to her find peace.

The lawsuits filed by her and her ex husband would teach you a lot, actually, about medical emergencies that every new parent should be aware of as a possibility.

Juries shouldn't make decisions period.

I don't know anything about tiktok psychics, but if you're asking because you want to have a good faith discussion about it, I'm happy to share.

I'm suspicious of a lot of the evidence and how it is inconsistent with Patrick's story.

First off, the confession.. That's what makes a lot of people assume her guilt from the beginning, but was it really a confession? Imagine you wake up in the hospital nearly dead and you can't remember anything about how you got there. As soon as you wake up the police and your husband tell you that you snapped and killed all your children. You don't remember anything and your kids are dead. You hate to think you could do something like that, but everyone else in the room is TELLING YOU THAT YOU DID DO IT, and you have no memory otherwise. I don't think she confessed, I think they told her what their assumption was and she didn't know enough to disagree with them.

The paragraph above is not evidence that she is innocent, but I wanted to lead with that because it's the ONLY thing that people reference to prove her guilt. "Why would she admit to it if she didn't do it?" Well, that's one reason why, so let's keep an open mind as we dig deeper.

Lindsey was a nurse with medical training, right? Let's keep that in mind as we think about this scenario: So, according to the prosecutors, a trained nurse cut her wrists perpendicularly, and when that didn't kill her, she slit her throat, but again, not enough to kill her, then she took a handful of prescription meds that the cops did not identify or test, and finally she decided to jump out of a second story window. Again, causing more non lethal injuries. Is it really more believable that a nurse trained in the human body and injury would attempt 4 different non-lethal methods of suicide in one night, than somebody else injuring her and trying to make it look like the most common forms of suicide?

Also, Patrick is sus as hell. What kind of person casually sits on the couch waiting for the police after discovering that their family was massacred and then remarries and goes on vacation immediately after they find out that their wife just snapped and killed the kids? Even his own mom thinks he was involved.

The cops also completely botched the investigation. The husband should have been suspect number one, but instead they just took his word of "it was like this when I got here" and they took his word for it and called it case closed.

Even if that's not enough to place the blame on Patrick, there's plenty of reasonable doubt.

*What're - what are your thoughts

What's - what is your thought

Either way: nada

Honestly nobody should make decisions. Just leave it up to the dice rolls.

water your thots

Hey friend, some of us southern folks talk/type like that. Don't hate.

This is the verbatim response I got from Gemini when I copy-pasted your comment to it and asked if it was accurate:

This comment is largely inaccurate and blends internet rumor with severe factual distortions of the official record in the Lindsay Clancy case. The defense and prosecution in this case actually agree on the physical sequence of events; the entire legal battle centers on criminal responsibility, mental state, and postpartum psychosis versus premeditation—not whether Patrick Clancy was the perpetrator.

The Timeline and Patrick’s Whereabouts

• The Alibi: Patrick did not merely give an unverified statement. He went to pick up takeout from a local restaurant (Three V) and medication from a CVS at Lindsay’s request. Police obtained independent timestamps, receipt logs, and security surveillance footage confirming his physical presence away from the house during the exact window the attacks occurred (under 45 minutes).

• The 911 Call: Patrick did not "casually sit on the couch." Dispatch logs and audio record him frantically calling 911 after finding Lindsay injured in the backyard. The 911 audio captures his hysterical screams as he discovered the children in the basement during the call with operators.

The Confession and Police Involvement

• Hospital Interviews: The assertion that police and Patrick surrounded her hospital bed and coerced a false memory is contradicted by court filings. Lindsay’s defense attorney, Kevin Reddington, noted that Lindsay was initially intubated, sedated, and paralyzed from the waist down from spinal fractures sustained during the jump.

• The Call to Patrick: When Lindsay regained the ability to communicate, she was granted permission to make a phone call to her husband using a defense investigator's phone. During that private conversation—which Patrick recounted to investigators—Lindsay told him she heard a voice ("a man's voice") telling her to kill the children and kill herself because it was her "last chance." The defense did not dispute that she made these statements; rather, they used them as foundational evidence of an acute psychotic episode and auditory hallucinations.

The Suicide Attempt and Medical Knowledge

• Lindsay did not take "a handful of unidentified pills" during the event, nor did prosecutors allege four convoluted, staged steps. She sustained lacerations to her wrists and neck, followed by jumping from a second-story window.

• The jump resulted in severe, permanent spinal cord trauma resulting in paraplegia. The severity of these injuries runs counter to internet speculation that the attempt was superficial or staged by a third party.

Claims Regarding Patrick's Personal Life and Family

• Remarriage and Vacations: Patrick did not remarry or immediately go on vacation. In the months following the tragedy, he released a public statement asking for forgiveness for Lindsay, ran the Boston Marathon to raise money for Boston Children’s Hospital in honor of his children, and lived quietly out of the public spotlight.

• Family Allegations: The claim that "even his own mom thinks he was involved" has no basis in any court record, public statement, or verified report; it is an unfounded social media rumor.

Neither the Plymouth County District Attorney's office nor Lindsay Clancy’s defense team has ever presented Patrick as a suspect. The core dispute remains whether Lindsay was legally insane at the time of the acts due to severe mental illness and medication side effects, or whether the state can prove premeditation.

From what I've read they refused to apply the law as directed by the judge. I totally support them having a different verdict but this is different

Next time put in the effort to write it, and I'll put in the effort to read it

Ha. It's not for you. It's for anyone who reads the bullshit you just spewed.

Yep there's a difference between a MH professional and a GOOD MH professional. And IME there's a lot of shit ones. Even if she had capacity she may not have done this if she'd had proper treatment. It's a really extreme case and I'm worried it'll worsen stigma

That is the interpretation of the people who disagree with his conclusion.

The prosecutor speculating he may have

The conversation on post partum depression needs to continue. The seriousness of this condition, and all of its ramifications, is not well understood by the masses. The treatment of this affliction needs much more research and development too.

Then read a law book, I promise it’ll be more rewarding than whatever sensationalized crap is flying around right now.

You should have just stopped your comment at "I don't know anything"

Because that is what you just demonstrated to everyone.

Yet, the jurors who watched the whole thing start to finish found reasonable doubt. Even the one holdout admitted that they had reasonable doubt, but refused to make that vote.

Please tell us all about how you know more than the people who experienced it first hand!
