The trial of a woman who killed her children is moving forward. This is a trial a lot of people are watching and for good reason.
The socialists are pulling out an old card when it comes to crime, but reality always has a way of winning.
And let’s talk about flock cameras. I never gave a damn about them before, but the controversy just keeps rearing its ugly head.
The Needs to End
Lindsay Clancy, a former labor-and-delivery nurse from Duxbury, Massachusetts, is on trial for the January 24, 2023 killings of her three children — Cora, 5; Dawson, 3; and Callan, 8 months — who were found strangled with exercise bands at the family’s home. After the killings, Clancy slashed her wrists and neck and jumped from a second-story window in a suicide attempt, which left her paralyzed from the waist down. She’s now 35-36 and has pleaded not guilty to three counts of first-degree murder (CNN; PBS NewsHour).�
The legal question Clancy doesn’t dispute that she killed her children. The trial instead centers on an insanity-style defense under Massachusetts law: whether she was criminally responsible at the time. Her attorney, Kevin Reddington, argues she was in the grip of postpartum psychosis and undiagnosed bipolar disorder, worsened by problematic medication management, and that she heard a voice telling her to kill the children and herself (Boston.com; Boston Globe). Prosecutors (Plymouth DA’s office, ADAs Jennifer Sprague and Shannon Buckingham) argue she “acted intentionally, rationally and swiftly,” and that while she had mental health struggles, she was not in “the throes of psychosis” (CNN; CNN).�
Under Massachusetts law, prosecutors bear the burden of proving beyond a reasonable doubt that Clancy could appreciate the wrongfulness of her actions. If they fail, the jury must acquit — but an acquittal by reason of lack of criminal responsibility wouldn’t free her; she’d instead go to a state psychiatric hospital with periodic reviews. A conviction carries a mandatory life sentence without parole.
Some things:
- We need to get rid of the “Not guilty by reason of insanity” thing.
- She’s guilty.
- She admits doing it.
- There’s no innocence here.
- She was planning this for a couple of weeks before the murder.
- She sent her husband away before the murder.
- What is going to make her safer to be around if she gets out?
- What about the kids? What about justice for them?
- This is called “family elimination” and more common with men.
- Men kill themselves more effectively than women.
- Men who do this are demonized.
- Why are we treating this woman differently?

They’re Not Stealing Toothpaste
According to Breitbart:
State Assemblywoman Emily Gallagher, who describes herself as a “neighborhood organizer” and “democratic socialist,” made her comments on Thursday outside Manhattan Criminal Court, the New York Post reported Saturday.
She was joined by members of Court Watch NYC, which claimed they monitored hundreds of arraignments for several days and found half of those cases were misdemeanors.
Gallagher said she is fighting to “pass things like treatment not jail and that we hold the line on the incredible criminal justice reforms that we have done over the last 10 and 20 years that are constantly being threatened by right-wing media who are looking to fear monger about people who are actually just in absolute dire straits.”
Some things:
- Reality sucks.
- New York’s policies led to this crime.
- When the stores are done with the crime and close, these people scream about “wealth disparity”.
- The demonize the companies that run away.
- Then they want more power and more policies that led to the problem in the first place.
- These companies don’t care. They leave and aren’t coming back.
- The criminals aren’t stealing toothpaste. We’ve seen the videos.
- Some people cannot be reformed. Where is the boundary
