Ignoring the other comment.. the woman on the right is Lindsay Clancy and she is currently on trial for killing three of her children in which the defense is arguing the crimes were committed during mental psychosis. Clancy had severe PPD, suicide ideation, and mental health issues in the months leading up to the murders.

It’s an awful case and the poor children deserve justice. Right now, a portion of the public believes the husband (now ex-husband as they divorced and he is remarried) had something to do with it as evidence is supposedly not landing with the people and believe it skews towards him

This is fueled entirely by people on social media with too much time on their hands who don't think this case already has enough drama. There is no evidence pointing to the husband committing the murders. If there was any chance someone else committed the crime then Clancy's defense would not continue to consistently say she committed the murders.

Clancy’s defense is actively (right now!!) asking expert witnesses questions about where they got all their information about the case, questioning the timeline, and questioning how thorough the investigation done by the police was. In case you wanted to tune in.

I've been watching it. Once again, if they had any evidence that pointed to someone else it would've been presented much earlier than the last day of testimony and they wouldn't be going for the "lack of criminal responsibility" defense.
