Lindsay Clancy mistrial analysis

by Flint: Lindsay Clancy

The narrative that Lindsay Clancy was some struggling mom is a lie. She wasn't drowning in poverty or lack of support, she was privileged. Her kids aged three and five went to preschool about three and a half days every week, not full-time daycare like the initial reports claimed. Patrick took twelve weeks of paternity leave and they hired a nanny for the newborn. Once that leave ended he moved his office home to work remotely so the couple decided they didn't need the nanny anymore because he was there. You are being told this woman had no help but that is false. A critical detail people ignore is that Lindsay Clancy is a former labor and delivery nurse. She knew exactly what admitting thoughts of harming her children would do. Doctors would take them away. She understood that. The author calls her smart and calculated acting with premeditation. Any woman actually going through psychosis especially one with her career path and education would have gone to her doctors and said "I need them away from me because I think I'm gonna kill them." She didn't say that. Why? Because she wanted the chance to kill her three kids. She searched online for methods to kill and looked up travel times from her home to a restaurant. One child was killed while Patrick tried to reach them. She returned Patrick's call after the first child was killed and told him "We're good here. Everything's fine. We're fine." She also gave a detailed explanation about medication that contradicts any claim of psychosis. Now we have a mistrial in the case. People are letting a smart calculated woman manipulate their emotions and it is working. A jury might let her walk and that is scary. The only correction needed is that the children were in preschool not daycare but either way they weren't at home getting attention. The callback after the murder is speculation but she did return the call showing she definitely wasn't in a state of psychosis. Lindsay Clancy was very privileged. Her husband Patrick's annual income is estimated between $258,000 and $482,000 based on job data and Glassdoor salaries.
