They are trying to rewrite the way we conduct Jury Trials

Lawyers argued over how the court should respond to a note from the foreperson regarding the juror, who the lead defense lawyer said is the lone obstacle to a “not guilty” verdict.

The judge in the Lindsay Clancy murder trial declined on Friday to remove a juror who appears to be the lone voice against at least a partial acquittal of the nurse who strangled her three children in January 2023.

It said the holdout juror had acknowledged doubt about the case, but refused to follow the law.

Ms. Clancy’s lawyer indicated that the jury was split 11-1, according to the foreperson’s note, with the majority ready to find his client not guilty.

Both sides agree that she did it. But her attorneys argue that Clancy was suffering from postpartum psychosis at the time and that poor mental healthcare exacerbated her condition. Prosecutors argue that she intentionally planned the killings.

Before sending the deadlocked jury home Thursday, Judge William Sullivan declined a defense request to remove one of the jurors following heated discussions from both sides.

Earlier, the jury’s foreperson sent the judge a note saying a single juror won’t follow the court’s instructions about reasonable doubt.

Details of the jury room conflict weren’t revealed and only briefly discussed in open court, but it raised the possibility that a single holdout was standing in the way of a verdict.

Clancy, a 36-year-old former labor and delivery nurse, doesn’t deny strangling her children in the basement of their home in 2023. Her attorney argues that postpartum psychosis led to her actions, while prosecutors say she knew what she was doing

Reddington told reporters outside the courthouse that the foreperson’s note identified the holdout juror to the judge.

And he’s hoping that before the judge questions that juror on Friday, attorneys on both sides will get to argue over the specifics of that inquiry.

Reddington wants that debate out in the open, not in a private sidebar conversation.

Well, it would appear they want to send this Lady to the Nut Hut for killing her three kids.

One Jurior wants her to go to jail rather than a mental health facility. He’s holding out and no matter what he’s not changing.

That the Defence would suggest that at this late date they have the nerve to try and pull this Guy off the Jury for Holding Out is not the way we do Justice in the United States.

The Juror and the Judge held their ground and it is a mistrial.

If diagnosed with postpartum depression is a legal excuse or rationale for killing your children then should such women (reportedly 1 in 7) have their children removed from the home until or unless obtaining a clear bill of mental health?

I know that was her attorney’s explanation, but I pray that it was the other way around where 11 of 12 wanted to find her guilty and only one didn’t.

It’s probably the unpopular opinion but personally I don’t give a shit if someone is “temporarily insane”, full time batshit crazy insane or just fucking retarded with a three year old brain…do this kind of heinous crime it’s the wood chipper for your ass.

Statistically speaking of those 9 Women up to 30% of them have had an Abortion.

Agreed. “Mental illness” shouldn’t necessarily be a get-out-of-anything-free card.

I agree 110%. I am fully on board with executing the criminally insane. If you are cray-cray enough to do shit like this then you should not be breathing air, period.

I feel really bad for the Father, I’m not sure I would be strong enough to deal with all of this. She sent him to run an errand and while he’s gone she does all of this.

She’s just evil.

Copy Cat Killings in 3 2 1.

I never have understood the “logic” either and really don’t care to learn what batshit crazy detail will be their next trigger to kill.

Saw someone mention the societal decline over the last 30 years with what appeared to be most people wanting to string Susan Smith up for murdering her 3 kids to the present day with a large percentage wanting to let Clancy off the hook.

An interesting one from further back. This one murdered her 3 kids and got institutionalized via insanity.

Her husband stuck with her and she was eventually declared good to go and released.

The couple had 3 more kids and one day the husband got a repeat of the earlier experience when he got home to find dead kids scattered about.

I’m surprised back then they didn’t have enough of her shit and killed her.

I’m old enough to remember the Susan Smith debacle quite well. People (namely women) actually had the nerve to get pissed at her boyfriend because he didn’t want a ready-made family! Unfvckingbelievable.

I have the solution to all three “biggies” like this (Smith, Yates, and Clancy):

  1. Susan Smith gets tied into a car with the doors welded shut and pushed into a lake.

  2. Andrea Yates gets drowned four times but revived after each one, given a few minutes to let that whacky little brain feel the terror, then down for one final dunk until the end. That equals five, the number of her kids that cvnt killed.

  3. Lindsay Clancy gets strangled to the edge of death twice and revived, a little of that terror-time I mentioned above, then one final strangulation and down for the count she goes.

Just for the record I have ZERO moral qualms about what I just posted.

Clancy, a former labor and delivery nurse at Massachusetts General Hospital, is accused of strangling her children using exercise equipment in the basement of her home while her husband, Patrick Clancy, was out running errands.

Don’t care, she should die (I realize Massachusetts doesn’t have the death penalty).

18

I’m looking at this list that is one year long and has 14 listed medications. now during that time She was a Nurse. Does no one check up on this stuff at the Hospital She works at?

So there is no way to tell just how much and at what dosage She was taking this stuff. With that many anti-depressants and anti-anxiety pills as listed I think it’s safe to say She was a walking danger to her self, her patients, and her family.

And Nobody knew?

19

My first thought seeing that list was ‘Interaction Warnings.’

I think that someone might have been being overprescribed by People who thought they had her best intrests at heart.

I’m not sure what the toxicity level is on that stuff, but She might well have reached it.

Just my experiance but I would have a totally independant lab check all that out. I certainly wouldn’t let anyone local near it.
