Hundreds of Lindsay Clancy supporters, many wearing pink clothing emblazoned with phrases such as “Believe,” “She Needed Help” and “Peace For Lindsay,” gathered Thursday outside the courthouse where she is on trial in the killings of her three children.

Several of the 300 women, and a few men, said Clancy’s story resonated with them and that they wanted to raise awareness about how the mental health system treats women. Clancy’s lawyer does not dispute that she killed the children, but says she should not be held criminally responsible because she was mentally ill.

    Well this changes everything, and I am just now learning about this case. But I hope this comes to light and he gets what’s coming to him.

    Like goddammit is not marrying someone else THREE MONTHS AFTER HIS KIDS DIED! That huge red flag. But if he buddy with the cops that surprised he getting away with it.

      None of what you just read is true. True crime influencers are making shit up en masse about this case.

      You should read more from a reputable source instead of believing what randos tell you online.

      I wouldn’t recommend automatically believing everything you read on the Internet.

          The courts aren’t trying to decide whether or not she did it, or if her husband did it. They are decoding whether or not her mental state makes her criminally liable. She already admitted that she did it. There isn’t any doubt there.

          You clearly “did your own research on YouTube”. It shows in how to you don’t know what you’re talking about, and are regurgitating influencer misinformation instead of talking about the actual facts of the case.

            There are many instances of clearly mentally ill people admitting to crimes they didn’t commit.
