“As a Massachusetts jury deliberated in the Lindsay Clancy trial, prosecutors in Illinois say a mother described by witnesses as recently being “very invested” in the case allegedly murdered her 2-year-old son and tried to take her own life, according to a petition to deny pre-trial release obtained by ABC Chicago station WLS.

I thought the Clancy trial ended in a mistrial by her peers. It will probably be relitigated in another trial. Apparently, there are some here that have started to relitigate the trial ahead of the prosecution’s decision to press forward.
Yes, what Lindsay Clancy did was horrific, vicious and savage. It was the clearest case of insanity I’ve seen in American jurisprudence for a while.
And, no, I don’t care what her attorney says.
I, for one, believe the majority of the jury, according to her attorney, got it right.

“I, for one, believe the majority of the jury”
Zzzzzz…
The jury does not diagnose insanity. Only professionals can do that, like the professionals who treated her and stated she was not insane or psychotic. A verdict not guilty by reason of insanity means that the jury unanimously decided that the prosecution did not prove their case beyond a reasonable doubt. That didn’t happen in this case, we don’t know what the vote was, Reddington himself says as much, that his 11-1 number was mere speculation. So whether it was 11-1 or 6-6, it makes not difference, there was no unanimous verdict.
The jury was probably influenced by the theatrics that went on, where as Bitter points out, hopefully will not be allowed in a retrial. It was also not sequestered, so the jury was bombarded by the pro-Clancy media and demonstrators. It was also 75% women, probably more prone to sympathize with Clancy and the blame on society narrative.

I wouldn’t acquit her but I would be open to the insanity argument a lot more. I would still be bothered by the premeditation and planning aspect. At the same time, HAD there been an insanity/psychotic diagnosis prior to the murders, they were less likely to have happened. If they still had happened, THEN you could blame the husband and even society for ignoring it.
My problem since the beginning is that there is ZERO evidence this woman was insane as per her interactions with family, co-workers, friends, DOCTORS, etc. Combine that with the premeditation, planning and cruelty aspect and I find the insanity argument completely ridiculous.
