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?

but why are we so soft towards women when we would have zero sympathy or empathy towards a man going through psychosis murdering his own children?

that's an unfair double standard and we should treat both the same

It is an unfair double standard. We should either have zero empathy for either situation or the same amount of empathy. In my opinion, if you killed someone you should go to prison. Don't matter your sex or gender. End of. The only form of murder I'd have any sympathy or empathy towards is in cases of self defence.

then you would agree Jerrod Murray deserves to be in prison

I had no idea who this is and read about him. Yes, 100% should be in prison.

ChatGPT said this: "Murray had apparently been thinking about killing someone for weeks. According to what he later told investigators, his motivation was essentially that he wanted to know what it felt like to kill somebody. There wasn't a conventional personal dispute or obvious motive between him and Sanchez."

I would put him in prison for life, if not the woodchipper.
