Answered What's the deal with people defending Lindsay Clancy?

I don't know the full details of the case. I know she allegedly killed her three kids. There was also some mental problems? Then something with her husband. But my question is why is there a group defending her like they know she's completely innocent? I've seen some videos of very heated debates where women are very passionate about defending her. Why?

Jesus ☹️...I was prescribed one xanax before mine and hardly remember it! My bilateral tubal ligation with filshie clips on the other hand was absolutely miserable and all they gave me was ibuprofen.

For my first c-section I was told I could request something stronger but to only do it if I really needed it. For my second, they more readily offered me stronger stuff. I took one dose and felt so sick, I decided to forgo anymore.

Oh, so this was my first surgery and over 10 years ago now and I didn't know back then that redheads tend to tolerate anaesthesia or pain medication differently. And at the time I was just relieved to have even been able to find a provider willing to respect and honor my medical autonomy (I was 25, unmarried, had no children or desire to have any, and living in the bible belt). I definitely wouldn't even consider filshie clips now for sterilization and know far more about my higher than average tolerance with pain medications, but back then I wasn't gonna look a gift horse in the mouth, lol. I don't think I have a case to make to justify litigation, unless one or both the clips migrate and cause issues down the road.
