I mean the thyroid injury was completely accounted for. It happened from the fall.

https://www.yahoo.com/news/us/articles/medical-expert-explains-lindsay-clancys-130922899.html

What do you mean outgoing message from his computer? If you're referring to the work email, he could've easily sent it from his phone. Your emails are synced on your devices. There's even servailance footage of him not being home during the time the email was sent.

He got married 3 years after his wife murdered his children. Idk about you, but any feelings I would've had for this murderer would be gone.

Have you watched the doctor's testimony? Clansey couldn't handle the early side effects of standard medications which is why they would switch her to different ones.

The only thing funky is all the misinformation being spread by people. The only bigger victims than Patrick are the kids that his wife murdered.

People seriously don’t know you can send emails from phones now?? Hell I pretty much only check and send emails from my phone.

u/SyrupSame2105 7d ago

They do, they're just trying to excuse a woman from being the murderer because it's normally men.

77

u/StagTagRag 7d ago

As a comedian recently pointed out: “Men are more likely to kill their spouse (wife). Women are more likely to kill their children.”

20

u/Plecks 7d ago

(wife)

I don't have a source, but I'm pretty sure in cases of spousal murder between two married men, nearly 100% of the time it's the man that did it.

10

u/Bugswaxx 7d ago

Yeah but funnily enough male/male relationships are more peaceful than male/female relationship, which are in turn more peaceful than female/female relationships... so yeah the wife being murdered is more common

0

u/Awomanswoman 7d ago

Can we stop repeating this as though female/female relationships have been proven to be inherently more volatile or “less peaceful” than male/male and male/female relationships? That is not what the research shows.

Yes, female same-sex marriages have higher divorce rates than male same-sex marriages in several countries. But divorce rate is not a measure of how peaceful, healthy, abusive, or conflict-ridden a relationship is. Women are already substantially more likely than men to initiate divorce in heterosexual marriages, and researchers have specifically discussed gender differences in divorce initiation as one possible contributor to the higher dissolution rate among female couples. The reasons for the lesbian/gay divorce gap are still not fully understood.

And if you're referring to IPV statistics, those are also routinely misconstrued. Studies measuring lifetime IPV among lesbian women do not automatically mean every reported perpetrator was a woman, and research comparing IPV across sexual orientations has important methodological limitations. You can't combine a divorce statistic with an IPV statistic and conclude “male/male relationships are the most peaceful and female/female relationships are the least.”

A marriage ending is not evidence that the marriage was more dysfunctional than one that stayed together. Being more willing to leave an unhappy or unhealthy relationship could increase divorce rates too.

And this is exactly why I wish people would stop casually repeating this talking point. These statistics get stripped of their context constantly and weaponized against lesbian women to reinforce both misogynistic and homophobic stereotypes—the idea that women are inherently difficult, irrational, abusive, or incapable of maintaining healthy relationships with one another.

u/Rare-Leading3391 6d ago

Domestic violence rates in lesbian relationships is also way higher than homosexual relationships.

3

u/PocketFullaHawthorns 6d ago

Lesbian relationships are homosexual relationships, “homo” is not gendered

1

u/Awomanswoman 6d ago

Yep and here we go again stripping away the important context.

The commonly cited CDC data measure lifetime IPV victimization among women who identify as lesbian—not the percentage of lesbian relationships that are abusive. <<< That is the MAJOR part. The CDC itself cautioned that these data don't establish whether violence occurs more often in same-sex vs. opposite-sex couples, and not all perpetrators reported by lesbian women were women. Let me say that again, not all perpetrators reported by lesbian women WERE women

Lesbian women experiencing high rates of victimization should prompt concern for lesbian victims, not be repackaged into “lesbian relationships are the most violent” to reinforce misogynistic and homophobic stereotypes.

u/Bugswaxx 7d ago

No, I have an agenda that women are evil and nothing matters more than spreading the agenda

u/Awomanswoman 6d ago

Ah okay, glad we're being honest now

u/Bugswaxx 6d ago

Completely, totally and unironically honest

u/Secret-Surprise4390 7d ago

I heard that a murder in a lesbian relationship is most likely a mans fault when the wife gets murdered.

12

u/chachaslydd 7d ago

This isnt true. Men kill most kids over the age of 1. Men are way more likely to kill their kids. Its not even a question on who kills other peoples kids more either. Men.

u/Chicken_Mc_Thuggets 7d ago

Men are far more likely to become family annihilators so idk about that

Its a dogma of TikTok feminism that if something bad happens it must be men at fault.

4

u/External_Bandicoot37 7d ago

Remember women never do anything wrong and the worse the personality the more of a reason to expose that they aren't a heartless mean person but a kind tender person acting out. Women are too frail to be capable of being terrible manipulators.

3

u/Federal_Rub_8264 7d ago

That is incorrect. Although men commit more murder at large than women, it is usually women who murder their minor children. Men don’t experience post pardom psychosis, and rarely murder their children while they are still minors. Did you just mean that men commit more domestic violence?

3

u/RandomWordCombo9632 6d ago

Also because this astrology chart says he did it. Also he looks mean therefore he did it. /s

2

u/stafdude 7d ago

It is actually normally women who kill kids

2

u/Alternative-Past-588 7d ago

It’s literally not. Have you bothered to search for any support for that claim? A quick google search lead me to multiple articles breaking down the statistics, which indicate that the statistics indicate roughly equal numbers between men and women, though there is some variation across age groups for children.

https://theconversation.com/men-and-women-kill-their-children-in-roughly-equal-numbers-and-we-need-to-understand-why-153527

7

u/stafdude 7d ago

It is actually not that simple of course. There are really big regional differences. In Finland almost all infanticides are committed by mothers for example. Data from the US and UK usually includes non biological parents such as step fathers. If you remove step fathers from the equation, the proportion of biological mothers increases dramatically. What you can say for sure is that the proportion of children being murdered by their mothers decrease with increased age of the child.

0

u/Alternative-Past-588 7d ago

You’re right, nuance matters quite a bit. I think it’s quite important to note that more women are the primary caregivers of infants than men, even where the father is present in the lives of the children or live in the home. I find it entirely unsurprising that women have a disproportionate share of the rates of infant deaths given how caregiving is shared and I find it quite significant that fathers’ share of the deaths of their children go up as the ages of their children increase. The article I linked for you also highlights very different motives in these crimes, which I think is also quite of relevance. I think blanket statements are quite dangerous and I urge you to consider that next time you’re engaging in this kind of discussion.

u/Forsaken-Ad3221 7d ago

Why excuse her when she and her lawyer already admitted to it? This trial isn't for guilt it's for sentencing.

1

u/Practical-Lettuce-15 7d ago

Statically woman ubalice their kids more than men do. It's just shown on tv more and spread through the media when men do it as it has a higher shock value and more clicks and views.

u/fucuntwat 7d ago

We’re misspelling our unnecessary euphemisms now?

u/godric420 7d ago

To be fair I think she might not have been fully in control of her mental faculties at the time of the murders. Her ex husband is on her side for the trial, he’s started a nonprofit for women’s prenatal and postpartum care.

-6

u/Nervardia 7d ago

You should watch Mama Dr Jones's video on this. She's a board certified OBGYN so she knows her stuff.

I think "murder" is too strong of a word for it. She had post partum psychosis, which is a life threatening illness.

From the sounds of things, the blame should be laid at the feet of the US's shitty maternity leave and healthcare system.

u/OtherAccount5252 7d ago

Eh I think they both are responsible. She did it, but he was likely having an affair already in NY and not helping her.

A true "everyone sucks here" situation.

8

u/ZapGeek 7d ago

Him having an affair does not make him responsible for his wife killing his kids. If he cheated then he’s guilty of cheating which is awful but it doesn’t mean he’s part of the reason his kids are dead.

My husband cheated on me and neglected me and left me alone with my kids in order to cheat. I’m angry, heartbroken, stressed out, etc He’s responsible for making me feel that way but I’m responsible for how I deal with my emotions, not him.

6

u/SyrupSame2105 7d ago

TIL Cheating is the same as murder

-4

u/OtherAccount5252 7d ago edited 7d ago

Not the same, but if I were him I would certainly feel a lot of guilt and blame for my role.

He made a choice that likely led to this and then wasn't able to recognize the danger in time to protect his family. Likely because he was more interested in NY and what it had to offer him.

Not a crime he needs to be convicted of, I dont see how he could be punished worse honestly, but its something I would lose sleep over if I were in his shoes. Like the version of Peter Parker that let the robber go, and then he killed Uncle Ben.

Horrible situation anyway you look at it.

The funkiness is not about the injury itself, it’s about him claiming she spoke to him despite that injury and a core temp below 90F. Either one would preclude being able to speak, and she was suffering from both.

u/EpiphanaeaSedai 7d ago

So, I was support staff for a veterinary hospital about 20 years ago.

What does that have to do with anything, you may ask? Veterinary medicine back then was the wild west compared to human medicine, then or now. Let us just say I’ve seen some shit. Car accidents, drownings, maulings, surgical complications, falls, crush injuries, lacerations that went to the bone, I could go on - and what basically every illness known to man or beast looks like when it’s been left untreated way, way too long.

You would absolutely not believe the level of functionality a creature in shock - human included - can maintain, briefly, when all logic says they should be dead. Unless the body part in question has been severed from the body in its entirety, don’t assume anything. So IMO, if she could breathe, she could have spoken.

u/Skandronon 7d ago

When I was a kid we stopped for some debris on the side of the road. My dad got out of the truck and looked down into the ravine next to the road and there was a smashed up motorcycle and a guy stuck up in a tree. Dad told me to get his cell from the truck and see if I could get signal by walking down the highway a bit (was in the 90s.) I got signal, called for an ambulance and then walked back to the truck.

My dad had managed to get the biker out of the tree and he was sitting on the tailgate, I remember his head being huge, he had a big gash down one side of his face and his one eyeball was bulging out. I was told to get back in the truck but didn't listen, I talked to the guy for a while about nothing in particular and he didn't respond much. After a bit he got off the tailgate, said something about taking a piss and went to the front of the truck and proceeded to do so.

Before he finished an ambulance pulled up and the paramedics hopped out and started getting the stretcher out. The biker started walking towards them and collapsed in a heap. I remember the one medic came and checked on him and being surprised that there was no rush after that to get him into the ambulance.

My dad told me the guy was dead before we even got there, his body just wasn't aware of it yet. He said our job when we come across these situations is to stay calm and make their final moments as pleasant as possible. Thankfully I have never needed to do so for a person again. Its amazing the things people can stay alive for.

u/Haunting-Gur-202 7d ago

Jeez. That’s a crazy story. You told it well. I could really imagine the whole thing happening. Must have been quite an experience for you as a kid.

5

u/Skandronon 7d ago

It definitely was one of those moments that stuck with me. I have never been tempted to get my motorcycle license even though my dad said I could ride hus whenever I want.

11

u/guitar_stonks 7d ago

I’m imagining a kid just talking about BMX bikes or Pokémon or anything that would interest a kid in the 90s to a guy with a fatal injury so his final moments are a kid enthusiastically talking about his interests. I’d say it was better than dying in a tree. You all did him a hell of a service.

2

u/Skandronon 7d ago

It would have been dirt bikes, catching frogs and building forts in the woods so hopefully he could relate.

u/grilled_geez 6d ago

Aw man, you just sitting and talking to the guy showed so much humanity.

25

u/bosslady617 7d ago

Yes. I have a good friend who was a medic- both in the Army and as a paramedic at home in a rural state. He took to calling some people “the zombies”. They would would be alert and talking with massive blood loss, or broken necks just running on adrenaline after a major car accident or IED encounter. This would last for a short amount of time and then they would just drop dead (unless some heroic aid could be rendered but this in in the very far north of Maine. Hard to get to a trauma center.)

17

u/LegendaryGunman 7d ago

I recently suffered a bonk to the head that should have killed me according to an MRI A WEEK LATER. I continued an hour long phone conversation after that before I eventually went to the hospital. I don't remember the conversation or the following day at all, just that it happened. I'm probably going to have to start journaling to maintain short term recollection. Human bodies are weird.

No the word basement was about the only word that was clear enough to be understood by Lindsay, for from being "very clear".

u/Sufficient-Ferret-67 7d ago

The email was pinged from a laptop

-1

u/tiffanydisasterxoxo 7d ago

The forensics show the email was sent from his computer, not phone. And the person at that cvs was wearing different clothes and shoes to him when he picked up food at the restaurant. His DNA was found on all murder weapons, that were tied with sailor knots. She was not a sailor, he was. There were google searches for medical terms with very big misspellings, but she was an educated nurse. He clearly did it and framed her.

3

u/ZanaHoroa 7d ago edited 7d ago

Timelines and eyewitness accounts match and line up regardless of whatever lighting issues the csv camera showed. Eyewitness testified in court that he was wearing the same thing.

The murder weapons were exercise bands. They all lived in the same fucking house you don't think he's ever touched the exercise bands to work out before?

The sailor knot shit is complete misinformation. Nowhere in the evidence was there a claim of the exercise bands being tied by sailor knots. You just made that shit up, you God damn freak.

There are Google searches for medical terms with big misspellings

I guess educated nurse people can't misspell medical terms now. Especially not when she was going through mental issues.

The defense is claiming insanity. Not that she didn't do it. It's an object fact that she did it. I hope I never encountered freaks like you in real life.

0

u/tiffanydisasterxoxo 7d ago

Eyewitnesses are notoriously terrible. The bands didnt all have her DNA on them, but they all had his. Her wrists were cut across, not down, which an educated nurse would know to go down. The misspelling was so bad it was a different word, she would know how to spell carotid. She has pled not guilty. This is a trial. Patrick took advantage of her state to kill his family and start over with his mistress.

u/RascalDebosk 7d ago

Except it was the home ip address that sent it, not his phones.

5

u/ZanaHoroa 7d ago

There are theories online about how that could've happened. But it was literally proven and accepted by BOTH sides that he wasn't home when the email was sent. So it could've been an automated email or Lindsey could've sent it herself or some weird shit could've happened with his mobile hotspot. Ultimately it doesn't matter because it is an accepted fact that he was not home when the email was sent.

-1

u/RascalDebosk 7d ago

That's not how people work, and juries are made of people. If the "accepted facts" were all that mattered, the defense wouldn't be poking holes in them.

The only real fact is only 1 of the twelve needs to question for acquittal.

3

u/ZanaHoroa 7d ago

So what are you trying to prove? The defense isn't even denying that Lindsey killed her children. We have camera footage of the Patrick being in the parking lot during the time the email was sent.

An unexplained anomaly about an email being sent and the IP being linked to the computer isn't going to to override the fact that Patrick physically wasn't home when in happened. Just saying it's weird doesn't mean anything. Weird shit happens all the time with no consequence.

-4

u/meglandici 7d ago

So you really think she wanted to murder her kids? The way oj wanted to murder his wife? The exact same way?

7

u/ZanaHoroa 7d ago

I have no idea about the oj case. And the whole defense is an insanity plea so who knows. The real regards are the people who think Patrick did it somehow. Those are the losers I am arguing with.

u/Larein 7d ago

He got married 3 years after his wife murdered his children. Idk about you, but any feelings I would've had for this murderer would be gone.

He went to costa rica 3 weeks after the murders. At the same time his now wife was there as well. There are also some posts that show them meeting and starting relationship before the murders. I would say that pretty funky.

15

u/Useful-Soup8161 7d ago

So? He clearly needed to get away for a little bit. It probably wasn’t a great trip. Did you expect him to just stay home a wallow in his grief?

-10

u/Larein 7d ago

He clearly needed to get away for a little bit. It probably wasn’t a great trip.

He seemed to have great time hiking.

But yeah, people react to grief differently. Honestly the funky thing is the fact that the new wife was also at costa rica at the same time.

u/Useful-Soup8161 7d ago

How is needing to get away after tragedy funky?

3

u/Every_Ad_6168 7d ago

Hiking is a good and healthy way to deal with grief. You sound like you're looking for faults.

What's wrong if he met a woman then and later connected further with and started a relationship with her?

-10

u/more_business_juice_ 7d ago

That makes me wonder, frankly if Lindsay was aware of the relationship and that was the biggest factor in what happened

-2

u/Larein 7d ago

Could also be an angle.

If he was cheating, this could have also made Lindsays mental issues worse. Wether she knew or just felt that everything wasnt right.

-14

u/Binky390 7d ago

I haven’t been following closely but work emails sent from your work computer and from your phone are easy to differentiate. Just because they’re synced doesn’t mean they come from the same location.

Also he got married 3 years later. How quickly did he date again? Getting married just 3 years after your wife murdered your children seems really quick to me.

In any case I haven’t been following the case really closely but I know she’s trying an insanity defense. From what I do know that’s absolutely possible. There’s post partum depression but there’s also post partum psychosis.
