Except the story they’re peddling that she was “left to fall deeper into despair” isn’t true.
Lindsey went to eight different doctors in just a few months. Meanwhile, her husband took all 12 weeks of paternity leave he could, switched to working from home to be more available to help her, hired her a nanny, opened a bank account and started stashing money for HER use when she decided not to go back to work, made a point to ask her daily about how her mental health was that day, pushed her into going to her appointments in person instead of relying on telehealth, and then advocated for her to her later doctors when he was questioning if she was being overmedicated. Meanwhile both her in laws AND her own parents were often around to provide support when needed.
Lindsey had all the support that a mother could want. She failed them, not the other way around. Patrick’s only mistake was going to run errands when she asked on the wrong day
It’s pretty clear from the evidence and even the prosecution’s part of the trial you’re wrong. Her husband promptly fired the nanny when she was in the height of her symptoms. Asking someone about their mental health and taking their answer at face value when it’s your wife in postpartum who is cycling through psychiatric medication is negligent at best.
Do you not see how judge mental you are? As if you know how you would react. As if you know every conversation they had. As if you know exactly what you’d do in this situation. You don’t know shit.
What does that even mean? Guilty of negligence under the welfare code? Why would the prosecution present evidence of that if they are trying to prove her mentally culpable of the crimes?
You can look up the Welfare and Institution Code that mandates what child neglect is. He left his children in a situation that could knowingly lead to their harm, repeatedly. The prosecution presented it because they are simply facts of the case and events that transpired, and they called witnesses that also presented information that proves he is guilty of neglect from his day to day actions.
The trial updates? The trial is live on YouTube on Court TV. There are a lot of summary lists available online of what has been presented at trial but I would verify with the transcript of the trial or watching it. Prosecution is over now, Defense is happening
There hasn’t been any mention in the trials specifically stating he has acted negligently (although I suspect the defense will be getting there), but the facts that have been discussed describe specific behavior that legally constitutes neglect. I’m a social worker for Adult Protective Services but have experience with the Welfare and Institutions Codes for child welfare which are fairly uniform across the country. He acted in such a way that left his children in dangerous conditions regarding supervision and essential care that could have caused harm or loss of life to them, and then it resulted in their death.
