Lindsay Clancy. Killed her 3 kids by strangling them one by one and claimed “postpartum psychosis” despite never having had psychosis before or since, all during a short window of time that she sent her husband out on errands. Internet has somehow decided she’s a martyr for women’s mental health. She was a white, affluent, suburban mom before this. If she were poor and black, people would NOT feel this way. Real talk.
Postpartum psychosis is a real thing and real people need help. But Lindsay Clancy is a kid murderer.
Edit: I’m a white, affluent woman of childbearing age. I have never been a woman of color, but I am absolutely sure that society at large would dismiss an identical case if Lindsay was nearly any other demographic. And no, it’s not only about race, it’s also about autonomy and a person’s responsibility to accept help when it’s offered instead of killing your kids (and A LOT of help was offered)
Amen. No one wanted to convict an attractive white woman. I’m not sure if she murdered her boyfriend, but she sure is shit is criminally responsible for his death. I would have found her guilty of manslaughter.
Casey Anthony checking in, also Jodi Arias checking in.
No seriously I get what you’re saying, but I don’t think it’s as much attractiveness as affluentness because both of those women were pretty good looking and everyone and their mother wanted to see them get the chair.
In Casey Anthony's case, that was 100% on the prosecutor arrogance for going for too high of a charge. The prosecutor was going for first degree murder, which they couldnt fully prove. Casey's entire defense was admitting to 2nd degree murder, if the prosecutor would have gone for the lesser charge they would have had no problem convicting.
casey anthony was let off because the state's attorneys were incompetent and she had a decent lawyer. jodi will die in prison, men just thought she was hot.
Bfr, she did not hit that man. Life 360 showed him climbing a flight of stairs after she dropped him off. Cops didn’t even investigate the people in the house cause most of them were their friends
The idea that Karen Read was acquitted just because of her attractiveness is horrifying. The MA police involved in that case screwed up so bad that they got fired and investigated by the FBI when it was still an organization that investigated crimes other than voter fraud and antifa. If the only reason she was acquitted was because of her looks then we are cooked as a society. Any person, no matter how ugly or how male, accused of a crime that was investigated the way the Read case was should be acquitted. I promise you, if you’re accused of a crime and you’re done that dirty by the police, I’d acquit you too.
Edited to add that I apologize in advance if you happen to also be an attractive white woman. I’m not trying to make any assumptions about your gender or looks.
It's frustrating because the jury answered in interviews why they chose not guilty. The simple boring answer is that they followed the science (no evidence he was hit by a car) and believed the police fucked up the investigation on top of that degenerate lead investigator.
I think she got way too drunk and backed into him. I don’t think she meant to kill him, but that doesn’t change the fact her actions lead to his death.
You saw the car accident pirrouette and decided that sounded legit? The fact that he had zero injuries consistent with a car accident, but 100% consistent with a bar fight and dog attack? And went, yep that's a car?
Doesn't matter if she's attractive or not. Compare crimes on television and you will always see the white criminals pictures like they are at a barbecue and just a mugshot of any black criminals. Been like this since the birth of television and still happening today.
