Lindsay Clancy’s Trial Unfolding #lindsayclancytrial #lindsayclancy #crimejunkies

Definitely don’t feel this case is as nuanced as you claim it is. The prosecutors are awful & should never have brought this as a murder case. Both of them are cold & callous, showing no compassion to even their own witnesses. We are just in the second day of the defense case & it’s already clear that Lindsay Clancy has always been a loving & doting mom who was trying desperately to get help for PPD that became PPP. She had multiple medical providers who made some critical mistakes in the diagnostic process, & prescribed far too many meds in a short time period. The hypomania that began & continued was likely triggered by the under experienced & new psychiatrist giving Lindsay Zoloft, an SSRI. You don’t prescribe an SSRI alone to a patient exhibiting Bipolar-related symptoms, as that can trigger mania, which then puts that patient at greater risk for Bipolar psychosis. None of these providers bothered to talk to one another to coordinate care & discuss what was a complex case for multiple reasons.

The deaths of these (3) babies are horrific & heartbreaking, but justice served shouldn’t include putting their mother in prison for life. This was a woman w/ an increasingly severe & complex psychiatric illness that became a mental health crisis when the psychotic break occurred. No one, not even her ex husband or former mother in law, described Lindsay as ever violent, but what there’s wide agreement on is what a wonderful mom she was. This isn’t a cold-blooded, premeditated murderer. This is a sick woman who needed & still needs intensive mental health treatment & support.

I can’t fathom that 12 people will be able to agree on a verdict & think it’s likely the jury will be hung. However, if they are able to agree, I strongly feel that it will be a not guilty by reason of mental disease or defect.
