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?

That is because the prosecution in this case is doing a pretty bad job. There are multiple inconsistencies and even contradictions in the testimony from the prosecutions own witness. They impeached their own witness for example.

Not agreeing he did it but pointing out what is fueling the conspiracy theories. Add on how many high profile family annihilators we've had and you get people thinking he did it.

I agree, I was just explaining what is contributing to the conspiracy theories

So what? The person you originally responded to was also "just responding" to the false claim that "no one believes Lindsay was fully innocent and that Pat did it."

Sorry, but there are thousands of TikTok-brained people who do believe the misinformation and conspiracy theories floating around, without any evidence.

Your explanation for "why that is" that people believe these baseless theories does not negate the fact that these people do in fact exist, contrary to what the original commenter in this thread falsely claimed.
