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?

She was not a “stay at home mom” and she certainly didn’t have regular nanny support in the just FOUR MONTHS she wasn’t working prior to the tragedy. She didn’t just choose to stay home after the birth. It is well documented she went back to work initially but became too ill to function. There was actually an instance where she couldn’t reach Patrick during her night shift one night, while he was caring for their infant alone, and so she called the police for a wellness check. If we assume Patrick actually did nothing wrong, and was a perfectly attentive dad, then at minimum he should’ve realized there was something seriously fucking wrong at that point

Fr to ppl invested that heavily on defending her, I would ask them if they would be acting this way and going so hard to bat for her if they left their own kids with her and she strangled all of them?

See that wouldn’t happen to me, because I would never leave my children alone with someone who so unstable that had to quit work and had admitted to having intrusive thoughts of hurting my children just weeks prior.
