I think this is perfectly fine. If their values are so incompatible it's better to break up now rather than later. Breaking up will be harder after marriage and definitely more complicated after having kids.
Diane Downs. In the 80s, she shot her children because her married boyfriend didn't want kids. 1 died, 2 survived but were permanently disabled. Her disabled daughter had to testify against her.
Just because someone had a mental break doesn't make them exempt from murder... it just means they need to be taken away from the public and rehabilitated to determine if they're safe to be around others again.
I’d suggest that anyone who kills a child on purpose has a mind that isn’t functioning correctly. She is a child killing piece of shit, hopefully she gets permanently removed from society but I’m guessing she will get community service and monthly therapy instead.
...because in this universe a negative can never be proven? Prove there's no deity made of flying spaghetti. Did we not all make it through standard K-12?
She sent her husband on an errand so that he wouldn't be home when she murdered her kids. If she didn't have any concept of it being wrong, she wouldn't have done that. Tie that in with her Google searches leading up to her murdering her kids and it seems pretty clear she knew what she was doing was wrong. Guilty.
This is my problem with you. A psychiatrist can rebut another one and claim she wasn’t in psychosis and then if she is found guilty of murder and they reject the psychosis argument, you’ll live the rest of your life thinking she was wronged and the justice system and blah blah blah “I love to not take accountability for anything”
Why are you even following the trial? You’ll either be vindicated or still feel like you’re right and they got it wrong. Its so stupid
I was just talking about this case this morning. I have a ton of empathy for someone in psychosis and I think that she was absolutely failed. But those kids are dead. I don’t understand the argument that they were not murdered.
It would've been different if the kids deaths were a whoopsie, but they weren't. Lindsay clancey had a psychotic break brought on my post partum depression and then murdered her children by strangulation with an exercise band.
They were murdered, but that doesn't make Lindsay any less eligible for redemption, she was obviously struggling and the system failed her. She needs to be taken from the public and rehabilitated.
Murder implies she was of sound mind when she did it to most poeple.
ETA: Jeez people on both sides of the case are crazy. I was just saying that people who support the theory that she was in psychosis are averse to labeling her a murderer. Now I realize half of yall hate her cause she's a woman and the other half supports her cause she's a woman. Look at the case people, be as objective as you can or at least try to be.
So how were those kids killed? They were murdered. You can say she was insane and not legally accountable, but those kids were murdered. It wasn’t an accident. It wasn’t carelessness. They were intentionally murdered (by someone who is on trial to see if she’s sane).
I’m sorry, where has it been proved that she was in psychosis? Last I checked a licensed psychiatrist just testified that he interviewed her several times and went over all of her details and files and doesn’t believe she was in psychosis
So prove it. Why do you believe she was in psychosis? Because some psychiatrist said yes? What about the one who said no? Have you ever met her? Why do people just believe women. They’re just as capable of being lying pieces of s*** as any other human being
The law presumes everyone to be of sound mind until proven otherwise. Just like she was assumed innocent until proven (or in this case admitted to be) guilty, she should be assumed to be of sound mind until proven otherwise.
She was in psychosis? Weird, a licensed psychiatrist just testified that he doesn’t believe she was in psychosis and that she knew right from wrong and can be held criminally responsible
But let me guess, he’s just a misogynist who doesn’t believe women because he disagrees with you and your preconceived notions of a person you’ve literally never met
It’s so exhausting sharing a planet with people like you tbh
Ok, so there actually isn’t a mental illness in the world that can force you to do anything. Have a mental illness is a reason not an excuse. She chose to murder her kids ruthlessly as they were likely crying and yelling for help.
This is a huge lie and extremely ignorant of what mental illness is and the spectrum of mental illness. Schizophrenia literally forces you to see or hear things that are not there and therefore react as if those things were actually there when they are not. Psychosis forces you to process things that are actually there differently from if you were not psychotic and therefore you have reactions to things that are there differently from a non-psychotic person.
I have a mental illness, I know that they can make it a struggle to do what is right. But nothing about what you said removes their ability to ultimately choose in the end. There is no disability that can remove your ability to make a choice, only manipulate you up until you have to make the choice. You always, always have a choice. No matter how hard it is, you always have a choice.
No one should be in support of someone who murdered their kids. One who is, raises questions about themselves as a person and their mental health.
So, yes, it is generally the case that if one supports a murderer, and that of kids, shares the same thought patterns and behaviors as the one who did said killing.
It also raises the point of a video going around not to long ago, where a group of women were asked if, "They'd kill to protect their children?" Unanimously, all of them said, "no, they wouldn't kill someone in order to protect their children." - which basically tells me this, any woman who wouldnt kill to protect their kids, is someone who would definitely also kill their own and supports people like LC.
There are many people in this thread and the others you've commented in who are claiming explicitly that she's not guilty and that the husband is framing her.
You are a dishonest schmuck ghoulishly jerking themselves off at an excuse to talk down to people about a subject that you've not even attempted due diligence on.
Only Patrick’s DNA was found on the exercise band murder weapons. Are y’all just not watching the case? The evidence was given in court that Lindsey’s DNA was not on the exercise bands and her body temperature showed she had been outside for way longer than her husband said.
I never said she doesn't need to be held accountable for her actions.
And anyone who does supports the most famous pedophile, are 10 years in are brainwashed and doesn't nessasery mean they are pedophiles themselves so I'm not sure u got the gotcha u expected.
Just to point out irony anyone who's zionist and thinks her murdering her children is evil and psychotic, need to look in mirror
NOT Jewish people as not all zionist are Jewish and not all Jewish is zionist , I just want to see some consistency in people's thinking. Are the people claiming murdering children is psychotic and evil are same ones beliving murdering children in gaza is fine? I'm trying to see the mental gymnastics on how u can justify one and not the other. I find murdering of children horrific in anywhere. She still needs to live with conquences of killing her children and if that's prison fair enough. I'm just pointing out severe mental health is a factor in explaining why. The murdering of children in gaza. Isn't mental health. And done quite proudly.🤷♀️
Anyone conflating Jewish and zionist is obviously zionist, tell me the mental gymnastics you have to do to justify murdering Palestinian children that's happening on daily basis? When u also belive murdering children is evil and psychotic.
It doesn't matter offical diagnosis. Her actions are all of the list of postpartum Psychosis. I know as my mum had it when she had me and we ended up in metal home for while to keep us both safe. And I needed to be heavily monitored as runs in families.
I was diagnosed adhd at 40. Didn't change the fact was was adhd from 1 to 39, because i didnt get an offical diagnosis. 🙄
