I’d like to know how this lawyer came by this information.

She used the hands of a mother to take ahold of and strangle the life out of her own children.

For a child the word “Mother” is synonymous with the word “God”.

When a parent takes a child’s live we are all injured.

It is a grievous crime, especially killing three little ones.

What an evil state MA is.

I thought Ted Kennedy drowning a young girl was bad.

Rotten to the core.

It should not be hard to come to a verdict on this one. The facts are clear. But it’s not about the facts of this case. It’s about whether a woman should be allowed to kill her children.

If they let Lindsay Clancy go free, all women will have the right to kill their children.

What type of monster can justify strangling these children?

Really need to be calling them EXACTLY what they are: BABY KILLERS

To be fair, there are multiple charges under consideration here and there can be a lot of disagreement in a jury room about 1st degree murder vs. 2nd degree murder vs. manslaughter counts.

So true.

For one moment on a Fox News show it came over me that the three males there and other males at home and myself were protective over the children, but the large contingent at home of females who were brought up on self-serving feminism want the Clancy defendant to get away with it.

Not all of any group, but doesn't this sound true?

Yup, and if it was a Trump supporter charged with anything, it’d be a bench trial and a guilty verdict in an hour, with the max sentence handed out.

It is the new OJ abomination. With OJ the black jurors demanded any black man get exonerated despite being guilty of murder to make up for past injustices such as the first black suspect at a crime scene being unfairly convicted as in To Kill A Mockingbird.

Now a feminist raised contingent of women figure sticking up for any guilty woman is fair after the jobs denied to qualified women in the past and so on due to male sexism back then.

To be fair...

Let's not.

"Fair" turns out to be an excuse for accepting what should be unacceptable.

The jury is hung. A successful defense motion to boot a juror who is holding out for a conviction brings quite a change to the pretense-of-law in this case.

We have a completely different system if the only definition of a "fair trial" is one in which the defendant is acquitted.

Past time to declare a mistrial and move on. That would be a new trial, an accepted plea bargain, or a dismissal.

None of those are good alternatives. They are better than what is happening now.

The Health care industry is also been in the forefront. Treatment of women with post partum depression is an issue. None of these jurors are mental health care professionals.

Foreman sent judge a note.

Defense attorney interprets it as “juror won’t follow the law.”

Excellent response as to why removing one juror would be a travesty.

With the effort, today, to inflame feminism with Trump Derangement Syndrome, the rage over the end of Roe V Wade, the decline in marraige, the decline in church attendance, and the decline in the birthrate because of the abortion pill, America will reap what it sows.

What a list. All pertinent. And tragic to our country.

I thought for years that my alcoholic, mentally ill, narcissistic mother’s forcing my father into divorce when I was in 3rd grade and then saying to me “You’re just like your father” meaning worthless, was an oddity.

Then years later I heard MANY divorced women justify themselves and mold children’s minds by spewing “You’re just like your father” to their young sons. I must have deluded myself that it was rare.
