Why did the prosecution even bring this case. She is “Guilty, but insane” and admits it - they should have taken a plea. I am satisfied with the Andrea Yates solution which is LWOP for the murders, but in the state psychiatric hospital. Lindsay Clancy will never go to state prison general population in a wheelchair anyway; she would be permanently housed in the medical unit with the other disabled, elderly, infirm, and dying prisoners. What’s the difference?
Men on this board are so punitive about this case! Another board, 80% female posters, has about 50% GBI/NGRI, 30% murder, then the rest and I Don’t Know. Men don’t seem to understand PPP, PPD or even PMS unless it is explained to them as physical conditions. I also think if this woman looked like Sydney Sweeney, then men would feel sorry for her.
Clancy is not a psychopath, that is so dumb, or without emotion. She is drugged into numb, looks like Haldol or Thorazine with the blank expression, waxy face, giant coal eyes that move slowly and stare. She looks like an origami of herself, nothing like who she was. She is very mentally ill IMO.
a lot of folks on this thread say that she needs to be locked up in the state mental hospital
I thought all state mental institutions were closed down in the 1980s (”because it was cruel”)
and this is a big problem - homeless crazies and stuff
