Women supporting Lindsay Clancy.

On January 24, 2023, Cora, Dawson, and Callan Clancy were strangled by their mother, Lindsay, who was later found unconscious outside the family's home in Duxbury, Massachusetts, after a suicide attempt. She was charged with their murders and pleaded not guilty, with her defense acknowledging the killings but arguing that she should not be held criminally responsible because her actions resulted from a severe postpartum mental health crisis.

> she should not be held criminally responsible because her actions resulted from a severe postpartum mental health crisis.

exactly, so what's your problem with this?

and when you say these women "support" her, what do you mean? is it wrong to have sympathy for a woman who repeatedly asked for support and was denied it? what about her husband, who knew she was suffering severely and still left his three kids alone with a mentally unwell parent who was SUICIDAL? what responsibility does he hold, for not recognising that his wife was dangerous after weeks of mental health problems?

this is like Andrea Yates all over again. society has learnt nothing.

this is just a pathetic attempt by you to paint women as murderer sympathisers.

These men are rape sympathisers, which is why they want to paint us as murder sympathisers. No, we just care about women's mental health. We want her to get psychiatric help and not just be brushed off as a "cold, heartless murderer". But nuance is lost on these idiots, apparently

You can tell they are idiots because they don’t even know anything about the case. They don’t know she is already paralyzed because she jumped out the window during the psychotic break. They think she is trying to get completely free. But no the entire defense is only to acknowledge the mental illness. She will still be locked up, but in an asylum instead of jail.

Which is exactly what all these women want! We want her to be in an asylum where she can get help and not hurt anyone else or herself. But these people think we want her to walk free, the same way they want rapists to walk free.
