The question isn't concerning whether of not Zoloft and other psych meds are potentially harmful. There is abundant evidence for that conclusion.

The question is whether the baby killer is criminally responsible for the murder of her children.

Do you understand the begging the question logical fallacy? It appears that you don't.

This woman took these meds (which were low dose and not all at the same time) of her own free will aka voluntarily. Why wouldn’t the law of voluntary intoxication apply? No matter what you do while under the influence of any substance you are responsible for your actions if you chose to take that drug/liquid substance of your own free will. Just askin’, not a lawyer :)

Correct me if I'm wrong here........but didn't she admit to killing the children?

The only thing before the court is motive/why.

If found insane she spends life or close to it, in an insane asylum. If not murder and life or the death penalty in jail.

It was the same in the Anthony case.

As far as I know, yes she admitted.

Then, there the issue of premeditation and planning, ahead of time. Plenty of evidence there.

Definitely NOT a crime in the "heat of the moment", specially considering it was THREE kids, in different rooms...

It’s a test of whether this country still has a backbone — or whether we’ve decided some murders are simply too awkward to call murder.

Cora was 5.Dawson was 3.Callan was 8 months old.She sent her husband out of the house so she’d have time. Then she wrapped exercise bands around their necks and killed them one by one.Then she cut herself and jumped out a window.

And now the whole country is supposed to sit here and debate her illness, her medications, her “voices,” and her pain.I don’t care.I don’t care how depressed she was.

I don’t care how many doctors failed her.I don’t care how many psychiatrists want to dress this up as a medical event.She murdered three children.A diagnosis does not undo strangulation.A pill bottle does not bury the crime scene.A “command hallucination” does not make Cora, Dawson, and Callan any less dead.

Stop centering the killer. Stop treating this like a tragedy that happened to her.It happened to them.If postpartum psychosis is enough to erase responsibility for killing your own babies, then justice in this country is a joke. We’ve decided the victims don’t matter as long as the murderer has a label.That’s not compassion.That’s moral collapse.Cora. Dawson. Callan.They don’t get another birthday.She doesn’t get to walk away from what she did.
 
The verdict on murder is all ready in. She confessed.

The only thing left to decide is motive.

Some may feel sorry for her and want to go with post partum, the rest think the defense is using it as a ploy to keep her off of death row.

What the internet detectives say and don't have a clue about anything including what day it is, or the protestors saying she is innocent doesn't matter one iota.

It's done, she is guilty. Said so herself.

And what do you do with a murderer? Send them to jail. All the mental capacity junk is just that, junk. Who cares if she is mentally ill in a jail cell. Let her rot. What, someone think they are going to re-habilitate her? What for? So she can get out, have a normal life, get re-married and have more children. Really? What kind of life will her children have? O Sorry they won't, cuz they are dead. Jail is for punishment. She murdered her children she should be punished.

That's the strangest part of this, for the crazy, pink shirt, women supporting her. She ADMITTED to killing them... yet these crazy woman want her to be found, Not Guilty.. and blame the medications...

They better be careful there using this narrative... Because if a drunk driver runs over THEIR kids, or kills their family in a wreck, it will open the door for the DUI driver to blame the alcohol as his defense....

Jurors in Lindsay Clancy's murder trial told the judge they were unable to come to a unanimous decision on a verdict on the fourth day of deliberations.

The jury, made up of nine women and three men, have spent a total of 18 hours deliberating Clancy's fate. Judge William R Sullivan sent them back out to continue deliberating on Tuesday morning.

Jurors must decide whether Clancy is guilty of three murder counts after the former labor and delivery nurse killed her children Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, eight months, using exercise bands at her home in Duxbury, Massachusetts, in January 2023.

Clancy has pleaded not guilty in her case, citing postpartum depression, psychosis and overmedication by prescribers. Prosecutors acknowledged that Clancy was mentally ill, but maintain that she knew what she was doing at the time of the killings.

The jurors, who are non-sequestered, heard five grueling weeks of evidence from doctors, psychiatry experts, police, friends and family before they broke for deliberations.

Clancy's defense attorney Kevin Reddington told reporters that he was 'confident in this jury' and that 'they’re doing a great job working on the case,' outside of the Plymouth County Superior Courthouse yesterday. 'They’ve been focused and dedicated throughout the whole trial,' he said.

Jury made up of nine woman... wonder if that is a factor. She did it. Admitted it. If she is sane, death penalty. If she is insane, then if she were to ever become sane then she would not be able to live with herself. You put down a rabid dog...

I know that I was initially hesitant to condemn her because I know how dangerous pharmaceuticals can be--and that they can change the personality--but after doing more reading, it strikes me that she was cognizant of what she was doing and should be held fully accountable for it.

What kills me about this is that there are two women on the jury wearing pink. Yesterday and today. I guess they can wear what they want.

The hardest part of them coming to a unanimous agreement (IMHO) is that there are 3 charges (or 4) to be considered for each child. Now, a normal person would pick a charge and go down the row utilizing the same charge, but maybe these aren’t normal people. I don’t know.
 
Lindsay Clancy is such a Palestinian. She strangled a bunch of babies, proclaimed herself the victim, and got all the leftists cheering for her.
 
Here's what might happen if the jury remains deadlocked.

What happens next if the jury in the Lindsay Clancy murder trial can’t reach a verdict?​

​
PLYMOUTH, Mass. (AP) — A Massachusetts jury plans to deliberate for a fifth day Wednesday on whether Lindsay Clancy was criminally responsible when she strangled her three children in 2023, amid conflicting testimony about her postpregnancy mental health.

What happens if they can’t reach a verdict?

A mistrial will be declared and the case essentially goes back to the same status as before the trial, with the 36-year-old former labor and delivery nurse charged with murder and held at a psychiatric hospital awaiting a resolution of the criminal case.

Clancy will likely go back on trial, but prosecutors have options​

Prosecutors will decide whether to try again with a new jury. If they do, the jury selection process will begin again and a new trial will be scheduled.


Prosecutors could also offer a plea deal to Clancy, said Brad Bailey, a Boston defense attorney and former prosecutor who is not involved in the case.


“Any time the threat of a retrial with murder one hanging over the client is re-interjected, defense lawyers will, at the very least, explore whether or not there’s any interest in a resolution,” Bailey said.

Jones admitted to working Nahtahn to death and killed the other four children in a panic. Jones pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity, but the court rejected this plea. He was found guilty of five counts of murder in 2019 and was sentenced to death. As of 2022 he is awaiting execution on death row in South Carolina. The South Carolina Supreme Court denied his appeal.

The Story About Lindsay Clancy Being A Victim Comes From Deeper Roots Than 1960s Feminism​

It’s a deeply strange interweaving of contradictory themes in which the inherently weak female mind of the strong independent woman is set free from the toxicity of responsibility.

In 1954, a New England mother named Constance Fisher drowned her three young children in the bathtub. Her husband came home and found his children dead, and discovered that his wife had tried to kill herself. Everyone felt badly for Constance, because she was obviously going through a terrible struggle with her mental health. She escaped prosecution, was hospitalized and released, and then had three more children with the same husband, who had forgiven her.

In 1966, for the second time, Fisher drowned her three children in the bathtub, after which she was sent back to the hospital. Toxic empathy killed children with the predictability of sunrise. One mother, six murdered children in two decades: Oh, that poor woman! How she must have suffered!


A much-discussed theme this week is that the sexual revolution and 1960s feminism caused social derangement and a loss of values, or “feminist victimhood dogma,” leading to the sick moment in which women dressed up in pink cultural uniforms like Manson Girls and fangirled for poor Lindsay Clancy outside the courtroom. But Constance Fisher was granted a shameful and dangerous forgiveness before Gloria Steinem showed up, and the roots of the story in which a mother who kills her children is really a victim go back a lot farther. Early feminism is intertwined with the story, but therapeutic culture and the assault on motherhood started well before the second wave feminism of the 1960s arrived.

Two historical moments defined women as weak, given to emotional collapse, and in need of benevolent intervention. In the decades after the Second Industrial Revolution, the emerging status group of the management class wife was found to be afflicted with nervous exhaustion, or neurasthenia. The cure was bed rest and resort vacations. The early feminist writer Charlotte Perkins Gilman drew on her own postpartum neurasthenia and confinement for bed rest to write the 1892 horror story The Yellow Wallpaper, about a woman locked in a room by her physician husband. Woman has a baby, is imprisoned by her husband, and goes crazy. Motherhood is sickness, despair, and oppression. This is now a well-established narrative on the American political left. Babies ruin you, handmaid.

Soon after, one of the towering landmarks of Progressive Era legal reform advanced the idea of women as weak creatures who needed an imposed benevolence. Arguing before the Supreme Court for the constitutionality of labor laws, the future justice Louis Brandeis delivered the then-unusual “Brandeis brief,” a long argument that drew on the language of supposed science as much as it talked about the law. State regulation of working hours was needed, Brandeis told the court, because experts said that “women are fundamentally weaker than men in all that makes for endurance.” Sociologists have spoken, so government has to be more powerful.

Crippled by the oppression of motherhood and their own weak spirit, women needed liberation, and society needed to rationalize and professionalize the female social role. This isn’t 1960s girlboss empowerment. It’s a deeply strange interweaving of contradictory themes in which the inherently weak female mind of the strong independent woman is set free from the toxicity of responsibility.


Gilman shows up in that story again, writing about motherhood and professional bakers: Bread used to vary in quality from house to house, she wrote, as different women used different techniques and produced a product of varying quality. But now, industrial-scale commercial bakeries have standardized the loaf. Taking a function out of the home made it more consistent. “The baker is not in the same industrial grade with the house-cook,” Gilman wrote, “though both make bread. To specialize any form of labor is a step up: to organize it is another step. Specialization and organization are the basis of human progress, the organic methods of social life. They have been forbidden to women almost absolutely.” Bakers make better bread, so credentialed social workers make better children.

The historian Christopher Lasch described this professionalization of the pieces of motherhood as “the socialization of reproduction,” replacing families and parenthood with the credentialed work of the “helping professions.” Lasch thought that the story of the twentieth century was about the long assault on the family as a social and moral center, the place where you learn to be a person.

What we have now is a contradictory and incoherent muddle: the powerful woman who doesn’t need a man because she’s strong and fierce, but she collapses into an oppressed state if someone inflicts a baby on her hormone-addled mind. Women can have it all, women can do anything, babies absolutely destroy them. Feminism doesn’t know what it wants to be when it grows up. In part, the Clancy madness is a manifestation of the war between second wave and fourth wave feminism, much like the conflict between pro-trans feminists and TERFS, or trans-exclusionary feminists. Several different movements marching behind the label of feminism have delivered us to a cultural condition centered on things that can’t all be true: You’re so mentally weak that babies will destroy you, powerful girlboss! And the contradictions are widely noticed.


We’re going through a period of reconciliation, in which the contradictions have to be cooked out so we can figure out where we’re going. In Massachusetts this week, that cultural argument is producing some remarkably ugly spectacle.

Twice now I’ve seen it happen: A person I know and whose sanity I’d otherwise never question expresses an opinion about a high-profile criminal trial completely at odds with reality. And the cause both times this happened was the same: The individual was following the case almost exclusively by looking at TikTok.

The Lindsay Clancy trial, with the jury having been instructed Tuesday to continue deliberating after failing to reach a verdict in four days, isn’t something I’ve been following from the start. But when I first heard about it on cable news, I knew the most important facts immediately: that three young children had been brutally strangled to death; that the mother, Lindsay Clancy, didn’t deny she killed them; and that Clancy attempted to commit suicide after the strangulations.


I sent a text to a girl friend to ask whether she had been following the trial — we’re both interested in true crime stories — and she told me she’s been “sucked in.” But then she confused me. “I don’t think she did it,” my friend said of Clancy.

In the event I was mistaken, I asked my friend if it wasn’t true that Clancy’s legal defense team wasn’t even denying she killed the kids, but was only claiming she suffered from mental illness. My friend said she didn’t believe that was the case. She was, of course, wrong. The defense team was in fact not disputing whether Clancy choked the kids to death using rubber exercise bands.

I told my friend that I hadn’t been following too closely and had only seen a small segment about it on CNN. She replied that she was tracing the details on TikTok, that “new things are coming to light” and “the timeline [of the night of the incident] just doesn’t add up.” She suggested the defense was actually targeting Clancy’s husband as the culprit.

I searched around to find more information about the case from news sources I generally trust to at least get basic details about a murder right (so long as the suspect is white) and found nothing to make me doubt what I had already learned — again, that Clancy didn’t deny killing her kids and that no one else was a suspect.


It turned out that TikTok was full of women posting views similar to those of my friend: women saying it was the husband or otherwise theorizing that the evidence proves it couldn’t have possibly been Clancy. I had seen this happen before. Back in 2023, another high-profile case, the murder trial of Alex Murdaugh, was also a TikTok sensation, with users offering their own alternative theories and conclusions as to whether Murdaugh, an influential South Carolina lawyer, had killed his wife and son.

I had been following a live stream of the trial online, and though Murdaugh denied he was guilty, he did the one thing you can never do if you’re trying to get away with murder: He admitted to having lied about where he was at the time of crime. And that confession was only after he had told authorities, friends, and family that lie, only to end up at trial, where he was confronted with irrefutable evidence that he was in fact not telling the truth. Only then did he give it up, though he still said he didn’t kill anyone. (Murdaugh was convicted of murder, though he has since had the verdict overturned on appeal and is now awaiting a retrial.)

After having seen that on the live stream, I asked someone close to me whether she had been following along. She said she had not been following closely but that a friend of hers had been tracing information about the case on TikTok and that he was not convinced that Murdaugh was guilty. When I told her about the revelation at the actual trial, she said she wasn’t aware of it.

No one should deny that this is a problem. When otherwise rational people are seduced by TikTok posters into fantasy scenarios about an obvious criminal being framed, to the extent that even a woman who admits she killed her children is now viewed as the victim, there’s a crisis at hand.


As a true crime junkie, I know there are mysterious deaths, unsolved murders, and even mind-altering plot twists that have taken place in real life. Those happen. But those aren’t reasons to reject reality in a thrill-seeking social media adventure that abandons the facts at hand. In the Clancy case, that includes three dead children and a mother who admits she’s their killer.

If TikTok is what’s causing people to end up not just wrong about real crimes taking place, but to flat-out side with killers, those people cannot be trusted to look at TikTok. Their brains aren’t compatible with it, and their phones should be taken away forever.

Susan Smith, nearing parole after murders of young sons, says she'd be 'good stepmom': report​

Notorious South Carolina inmate Susan Smith reportedly told one of several suitors that she would make a "good stepmom" as her first parole hearing approaches in her life sentence for drowning her two boys.

Smith, 52, also told her admirer on the recorded jailhouse phone call from Leath Correctional Institution last month that she "could see [herself] around kids," per transcripts obtained by The Messenger.

"You'd be great, babe," responded the suitor, one of more than half a dozen corresponding with Smith, the outlet reported.

SUSAN SMITH, SOUTH CAROLINA MOM JAILED FOR KILLING 2 SONS, STOPPED WRITING TO LONG-DISTANCE BOYFRIEND: REPORT

Per South Carolina Department of Corrections records, Smith began her 29-year sentence on Nov. 4, 1994, after she was convicted on two counts of murder in the deaths of sons Michael Daniel Smith, 3, and Alexander Tyler Smith, 14 months.

Initially, then-22-year-old Smith told investigators that a Black man had carjacked her while the two boys were still inside the car.

Days later, she wept alongside husband David Smith on national television, pleading for their safe return:

"Your mama loves you so much," she said during one news conference.

But ultimately, Smith admitted that there was no carjacker – she let her car roll into John D. Long Lake and watched as the vehicle sunk with the two children still strapped into the car seats.

Her prospective affair partner and ex-boyfriend, Tom Findalay, penned a letter a week earlier that prosecutors said drove Smith to drown the boys:

"Susan, I could really fall for you. But like I have told you before, there are some things about you that aren't suited for me, and yes, I am speaking about your children," he wrote, per Deseret News.

But Smith has long argued that she did not drown her children for a man's sake, claiming instead that she had a psychotic breakdown.

Now, relatives are not shocked by the near half-dozen men who have reached out to Smith while she's behind bars, telling The Messenger that "guys have always flocked to Susan."

"She's always been into guys, obviously," one relative told the outlet. "It would be the best case scenario for her, to be in a relationship. So she's hoping to find the right man to live with if she gets out."

WATCH ON FOX NATION: THE SHOCKING STORY OF SUSAN SMITH

With her first parole hearing scheduled for Nov. 4, 2024, the mother plans to request her release.

Former husband David Smith – who appeared by her side on national news stations during the fruitless search for their dead children and was later pictured weeping at the boys' funerals – intends to oppose her release.

"David still thinks of his boys every day, and doesn't ever want Susan to get out," one of the man's relatives told The Messenger. "She belongs in jail… she is exactly where she needs to be – in prison. And we will do what it takes to keep her there."

Meanwhile, Smith's suitors are vying to help her post-release, per conversations reviewed by the outlet, offering her money and accommodations.

One man offered her a car, another offered her a place to stay with his relatives when she is paroled, while another spoke in recorded conversations about moving in together and starting a family.

One of the men told the outlet that he "just [found Smith] interesting and misunderstood" and that the woman is "not what you think she is."

"She's a good person who did something terrible when she was young and not in her right mind – people can change," he told the outlet.

Smith's search for love has gone on inside prison walls, too, with People reporting an illicit sexual relationship with a prison guard alongside marijuana use and self-mutilation in her disciplinary record.

When she isn't flirting with prospective post-release lovers, Smith often speaks with friends and family about her potential parole:

"Prepare now what you will say when you're given the chance to speak at your parole," Smith's friend Ruth said in a recorded May phone call, according to The Messenger.

"Say you were young and may have had postpartum depression, which can last as long as three years after birth," the friend continued. "I will keep you in my prayers. Meanwhile, get your speech ready for the Parole Board. It won't be easy."
