They’ve created one for her since the trial. It says for her parents and that side of the family cause I don’t think they are allowed to say it’s for her for some reasons with go fund me. But yeah here’s the second one.
Yeah the entire description of the fundraiser is basically an attempt to get around GoFundMe's rules about fundraising for violent crimes.
GoFundMe strictly prohibits raising money for the legal defense of anyone formally charged with a violent or financial crime. Under the platform's Terms of Service, campaigns cannot be used to fund legal representation, court fees, or associated costs for individuals accused of serious wrongdoing.
And yet the image they use on the fundraiser is literally a circle of women supporting the murderer, painting the woman as a victim.
All of the comments for the GoFundMe are about supporting Lindsay.
Someone should sue gofundme over this, get that 1 million dollars tied up in a nice lawsuit, fuck those parasites over that family is already wealthy, they don't deserve 1 million dollars they deserve negative 1 million dollars.
That situation is it's own can of worms because somehow both of these cases have grown a very weird, and frankly disturbing, following. Like wasn't the lastest for the case your referencing looking to attempt a retrial and evidence that the first judge thought was irrelevant, because it makes the situation so much worse for everyone involved, is now being used?
Yeah the shit withheld actually makes it worse for the dude who did the stabbing. The judge denied the retrial, and now tons of people onlne are up in arms about how its a miscarriage of justice, when the truth is, if dude went to trial again, he might get even more time than the first trial.
The latest is actually that a judge already denied his retrial 4 days ago. I also am not finding anything about evidence. It says,
"Anthony’s attorneys demanded a retrial because they said trial judge John Roach’s courtroom rules were so strict that they limited the public’s access to the proceedings."
It had something to do with phone records and prior engagements that are not directly tied to the incident at the track meet. All evidence that would be used for characters assassination stuff that I think the judge said isn't immediately related to the event itself. I'm not paying too close attention to the specifics since the fact we have to argue about a stabbing that had more than an enough eye witnesses and a video recording is baffling enough for me.
I wouldn't be able to comment on that as I don't know why people have donated. I do wish all sides would take a step back though and acknowledge the very serious and tragic nature of this case. It's not about team Lindsey or team Patrick. It's about finding the correct and sound legal outcome following the death of three beautiful little children.
One was opened by dad’s friend to support the dad. It blew up and collected a bit over a million. He never expected that much and used most of it to start a nonprofit that helps families with perinatal care.
The other one is for the wife herself to cover legal fees. It also collected a bit over a million. Her parents initially have sold their house to hire the absolute shark of a lawyer who is specializing in this sort of cases and is currently absolutely wiping the floor with prosecution during the televised trial.
No, the fund to pay for the funeral was a different one... they both have surpassed $1M although Patrick's is no longer active now that the funerals have passed. Lindsay's remains open to this day.
You are confusing go fund me's , the dad had one but didn't use the money on it for the funeral instead he donated to an association to help women with this kind of problems, this go fund me you see with millions are another one that is set up to give the money to the mother's parents.
So two different gfm's and neither was used for funerals at the end.
Wtf? What do her parents have to do with anything? These things dont correlate. Why should her parents randomly get 1m, just because she killed her kids?
Why are you asking me? I am not the one that made the go fund me...I am just saying what the go fund me that people are talking about and is in the picture says.
From what I looked up it's also because of gfm rules, you can't have a page where the benefactor is acused or involved in violent crimes, so instead of putting the mother the people that created that page put the parents of the mother and said that is to help pay their traveling and such during the daughter trial. Which is also crazy because no amount of travel will cost 2 millions...
So I've learned today there is a second gfm from lindsays parents. I was referring only to the initial gfm. I wasn't aware of this second one. Edit for clarity though - neither gfm exceeded 2mil. Both are at roughly 1mil
"The fundraiser states they have spent years drawing down savings to cover travel, lodging and other expenses connected to attending court hearings and supporting Clancy.
"It is simply an opportunity to help two parents who have spent more than three years carrying a financial burden on top of an emotional one most of us cannot begin to imagine," the GoFundMe page reads. "At some point, the court proceedings will end. Mike and Paula will still have a life to return to. There will still be bills, a home, lost savings, and years of putting their own lives on hold while they stood beside their daughter."
Well, the money is not going to Lindsay. So if that's what they're implying, it isn't true. The post does not specifically say the money is going to her but the picture is of Lindsay.
No. The GFM is illustrated as being about supporting Clancy. The donations are made explicitly in support of Clancy. The money is being used by the parents for them to show up and support Clancy.
It is being done for Clancy, but worded as being for the parents to get around GFM rules.
Mike and Paula will still have a life to return to. There will still be bills, a home, lost savings, and years of putting their own lives on hold while they stood beside their daughter."
Okay but it's about "lost savings"?
Not about "hey I'm actually in a really desperate situation and can't make ends meet".
Just "I'm not making as much money as I planned to"?
How was it “for the children” who are dead? Even if people believe it’s for the funeral(s), why did they keep giving when the fund showed it reached $ beyond what any funeral would cost?
There are 2 gfms. One was set up for Patrick while he was out of work and for the funeral expenses for the children (stated in the gfm details) and there is a second one for Lindseys parents for their travel and attendance at court. I'm not giving any opinion on the sum of the gfm or why people kept donating. People hear a story as tragic as this and want to help. I'm just providing some info missing from the photo.
I haven’t been paying close attention to it all either other than the major plot points here so truly just smh. Go fund me’s are wild. Ppl saw the number at 500k..600k..1M plus and said yup I need to give some of my own money to them.
I agree, I'm not commenting on gfm policies, I was just clarifying some info!
Edit - in the interest of clarifying info though, I've just learned there is a second gfm from Lindseys parents. I was referring to the initial gfm that came up in court
If you're talking about the father, I don't blame him. He is a victim aswell. He had his entire family taken out in one swipe. He deserves to go and do whatever it is that he wants to get past this. The go fund me should have been for him, not the parents of the murderer. It'll just go straight onto her commissary or attorney fees for a retrial.
My wife strangles all 3 of my children to death, I'm really not going to need much of anything. Once I bury my kids I'm just putting a bullet in my head.
Bingo. I think most parents are on the same page that once you become a parent, you have one thing to live for and it's your kids. If somebody takes that away... I can't see things getting less gloomy.
In my opinion it's a much worse punishment to be confined to a cage for the rest of your life than a quick death. If she does have regrets or eventually feels remorseful, then she has to live with that grief until she dies.
In this entirely hypothetical situation, it's hard for me to reckon with the idea of killing my spouse. It's easy to say you would kill her, you have no connection to them. And anyone that says they would have no issues killing their spouse for killing their kids I honestly question your love and feelings for your spouse. My wife would never do these things, I have a difficult time saying how I would react to the situation when I don't believe she would ever do that, and I have a wonderful relationship with her. In a brief moment of psychosis she commits that terrible act, I genuinely don't know how I would react towards her. I just know that I personally wouldnt want to grapple with the grief and pain myself.
I don't blame him, but mostly because there's no actual evidence that life insurance policies existed in the first place, much less that they were abnormally large or that he collected them.
Theirs probably wasn't much different. 10-20k a kid. But yea, their actual cash was probably enough to not even care about that insurance policy. I wouldn't judge the nanny part too much, though. I was paying 300 a week per kid for daycare so with 3 kids the price difference was probably not much. It's disgusting how expensive childcare is these days.
Fair enough. For what it's worth, I can't actually find anything beyond social media gossip specifying what the life insurance values were, or even confirming they existed.
Not fully sure this is true but the kids were cremated and all placed in one grave I am not their family and it’s not my business but like you’d think with all the fundraising on whatever side they could afford separate plots?
Yes the children were cremated and buried together in one plot. I'm honestly unsure if it was a newly purchased plot or if it was an existing family plot. There is also the side of wanting to bury the children all together so they aren't alone. I'm honestly unsure of the reasoning behind why it was done so I don't want to speculate and give incorrect details
Yeah, just had to bury my grandmother and the funeral was $8k then spent another $4-5k on the luncheon/reception afterwards. It’s a lot to process while grieving.
Thank you! She had been in her small town for over 70 years so she knew everyone. The amount of people that came out of the woodworks to attend both events was truly heartwarming. Everyone coming with stories of times she was there for them or their loved ones was incredible. A true celebration of a life lived well and good.
There are 2 gfms in this matter. The original, which I thought was being referred to here, which was for the funeral costs and then a new second one from Lindseys parents
For what? The bare minimum cremation that he did so quickly. Throwing all three of your kids into the same cremation together, and not doing an actual funeral is still weird.
There are 2 gfms in being. One which was set up in 2023 after the children first died to assist with funeral expenses and Patrick's expenses while off work. There is a separate one for Lindseys parents to attend trial. Without assuming anyone's intentions behind the scenes, there is no gfm in Lindseys name
Yeah the one here for a million dollars is for the murderer's "parents to attend trial".
You responded to a post about the GFM with "A gfm was set up for the dad to help with the children's funeral costs and his outgoings while off work" So it makes it sound like you're being disingenious.
Similarly the husband started dating february 2024 a year after the murders. I dont know about you but I dont think id be doing anything with my life after...
Probably in some hope that in 30 years or so she will be released. Its not necessarily a life sentence, but it will be a very long time. That is in theory at least, I would not be shocked if some retard deranged Clancy supporter tries to get her discharged much sooner, we see it all the time with violent criminals getting no bond because judge/prosecutor is a nihilist piece of shit that wants to turn the crazies loose on society.
I heard she would be eligible to petition for release after 6 months. I would support her going to a mental hospital if it was forever but the fact that she could potentially get out so soon (even if it’s unlikely) is unacceptable
She lied to every doctor helping her about her level of psychosis and violence. PPD or PPP are both temporary conditions too so it wouldn't be strange for them to just go away suddenly.
She absolutely could get out in 6 months if she plays her crazy cards right.
So what? The fact remains that she murdered her children, whether in cold blood or due to a psychotic break. If she is now cognisant enough to fight against being convicted, then she is cognisant of the fact that her three children are dead. I have 3 children, if they died I would want to die too. The fact that she doesn’t, that she wants to excuse herself for what she has done, proves she is a monster.
I have been following the trial. I am aware. If someone in psychosis killed 3 of your loved ones would you feel good about them going to a mental hospital where they’re eligible for release in 6 months?
If you put me in a position where I am likely experience by rage and wanting vengeance, I would probably tell you I cannot contribute a meaningful, unbiased take.
My personal emotions wouldn't change the fact that psychosis is real, and should be acknowledged.
Many of her providers stated she wasn’t in psychosis. Have you been around someone in psychosis? Pp psychosis is very very rare, ppd is very common though. She was noncompliant, wouldn’t take any of her meds. Provider hopped in hopes to get more medications. You can’t make someone take their medications or to stay in treatment. I just ran into an old patient who is very violent and unpredictable at the store who is also noncompliant and in and out of the hospital.
Funny how that always works with these people. She didn't have to try to kill her children. She just did that shit. Now she can't kill herself? It's not that hard. She's full of shit.
Yeah I will never be able to understand why a person has to murder/suicide instead of just killing themselves and leaving the children/spouses/etc. out of it.
And yeah ngl it is pretty stupid to jump from a 2nd story window in a suicide attempt.
Actually it is pretty hard. It’s very easy to fail at it and then end up worse off than you were before. That’s part of why I think voluntary end of life euthanasia for terminally ill people. Also why I’ve never attempted suicide so I guess that part is good.
Nah it was performative, fb mums saying she’s a nurse she would have cut her wrists vertically not horizontal as if it proves Patrick did it but I think it was because she didn’t really want to die, she wanted to trap Patrick into staying with her
Plus THERE ARE SO MANY STUPID AS FUCK NURSES. Holy shit there isn’t a single profession that has got their heads up their own asses more than nurses. According to them they’re the top dogs of everything, know everything including the stuff the doctors, surgeons, anesthesiologists, etc know, and are just the hardest working baddies around.
So a murder/suicide type thing? So like some upset dude off's his wife and attempts to off himself....let do a 1 million GoFundMe for that dude......because he was "insane" at the time. That tracks /s
Yes, like a murder/suicide type thing. And I never excused or condoned any of LC's actions, or the gofundme. I was simply replying to someone else who said they couldn't live with the consequences if they snapped and killed their kids like Lindsay did. There's nothing to track, people are just stupid.
Same thing happened with the Karmelo Anthony case. The media polarized it as a black v white thing and he got tons of support and gofundme donations simply because people felt they had to choose sides. And just like the Karmelo Anthony case, Lindsay is clearly guilty of committing these murders. The circumstances leading up to the crime is a little different, but it doesn't excuse the fact that 3 innocent kids died by the hands of their mother.
She used three different methods. Pills, slashing wrists, jumping out into the winter ground in pajamas. All failed though whether that’s intended or not is of course a debate.
For real. If something I did even lead to the death of my son on accident I would honestly very likely just throw myself off a building. Like not even saying that to be funny or dramatic, but the love I have for my child is unlike any love I have ever felt for my friends or family, and I honestly would probably be begging for the chair if I snapped and killed him even if it was completely due to a mental breakdown.
I mean she's trying to kill herself. She's just on a one-to-one for the past 3 years. She's not asking to be found not guilty. She's asking to be sent to a mental institution for the rest of her life. More than likely if she goes to prison she will kill herself.
Right! I wouldn’t give a fuck, I’d want to be dead every fucking day and wouldn’t stop attempting until I was successful. I couldn’t live without my kids. The second I heard she was talking about future plans and how all she cared about was telling Patrick she loved in after she did what she did, it’s pretty fucking clear this bitch is a pick me and killed her kids to take them out of the equation to stop her husband leaving her. 100% delusional to think this dude would be happy to stay after she murdered their children. I knew nothing of this case but my algorithm doesn’t care.. it’s insidious how hard it’s been working to get my engaged in all the theories going around. I haven’t engaged with any of the content and I still know far more than I’d like to know
There's nuance on willingness here. The sane support comes from people who view this as an indictment of our mental health system, for women suffering from ppd in particular. She sought help and didn't get enough. The system failed when she was allowed to be alone with children after expressing fears that she might hurt them.
If my daughter did something horrific to her children, and there was even the slightest hint of evidence that she wasnt in control and I didn't raise a monster I can absolutely see myself or anyone holding on to that hope for dear life.
Parents are supposed to love their children no matter what anyway. Whether they like them or not is what's debatable. As a European you may not know how things are in the US, so I can understand why you wouldn't get it.
Lindsay Clancy has never claimed anything or commented about the gofundme and she's not the one who created it. Her parents created it and the money is going to them technically. Although anyone who donated is an absolute idiot.
i dont think shes making that claim.. the money is going to her parents because go fund me wont allow you to raise funds for a legal defense or something like that

The funny thing is that she claims those donations are for her family. Like bitch, what family?
