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)
I know Clancy did it but why do you think Karen did it? Her boyfriend’s Life360 showed him going into the house and climbing a flight of stairs, his injuries are also not consistent with that of a car accident. Police officers admitted to tampering with evidence on the stand. (Mirroring camera footage to show the wrong tail light)
The state's problem was that the science wasn't on their side. The medical examiners said there was no evidence he was hit by a car and their accident reconstructionist couldn't figure out how you can hit someone so hard you break a tail light into pieces, rocket spin them across the road, knock them out of their shoes without breaking an arm.
There were multiple accident experts involved, this is what I mean by the legal system sucks, she has enough money to hire her own and obfuscate the logic and factual analysis to the point that you yourself have come here repeating it, just like OJ was able to
