Is anyone watching the Lindsay Clancy trial?

I am watching the Lindsay Clancy trial unfold, and this is easily one of the most difficult cases I have witnessed. Three children died and now the jury must decide if their mother was criminally responsible for their deaths.

The prosecution is arguing that her actions were premeditated and that she knew exactly what she was doing. The defense is arguing that her mental state impaired her ability to know or control her actions. There is still a lot of evidence to be presented, specifically the medical evidence, so I am trying hard not to make my mind up until it is all presented.

What I have noticed is how challenging it must be to determine actual mental illness versus a made-up legal defense. On the other hand, I do not want to focus so much on her state that we forget about the victims. They were the children who were killed.

What do you think of the evidence that has been presented so far?

Lindsay Clancy juror list kept confidential for 14 days​

The jury list in the Lindsay Clancy trial has been impounded for 14 days.

Superior Court Justice William F. Sullivan issued the order, citing juror protection after the Clancy murder trial resulted in a hung jury.


The order of impoundment read: “The Supreme Judicial Court has recognized that the safety of jurors is crucial to the fair functioning of the judicial system, and that “the justice system owes them the highest degree of vigilance for their personal safety” Commonwealth v Silva, 448 Mass 701 (2007).

“Accordingly, the Court orders that the list identifying the names of empaneled jurors in this trial be impounded. This Order shall not preclude any juror from identifying himself or herself and/or from speaking to the public about his or her jury service.

I think they should always be like this. No juror should be outed by anybody other than the juror themselves .

And this case is exactly why! As people’s opinions are more and more deeply divided, and social media allows people to dox each other, protecting jurors is getting more and more important.
 
Speaking with CBS News' "60 Minutes," Patrick Clancy shared new details about his children's final moments, what Lindsay told him about the killings and the online attacks he says are hurting their legacy.

Patrick said he clung to hope that Callan might survive after his siblings, 5-year-old Cora and 3-year-old Dawson, were found dead inside the family's Duxbury, Massachusetts, home.

Doctors had restored the baby's heartbeat, and Patrick told Douthat he began imagining the life he could still give his youngest child.

"I remember that night, I really thought there was a chance that Callan would live," Patrick said.

"And I remember just thinking, ‘Just give me one. Just give me one kid,’" he continued. "And I would raise him as best I could, and I would give him the best life I possibly could. And I'd tell him about his brother and sister."

"There was a time where I didn't think I would live to see my 35th birthday, and I was completely fine with it," he said.

Patrick later left Duxbury for New York City, where he could grieve without being recognized.

The mistrial unleashed what Douthat described as a "trial by TikTok," with online sleuths and influencers spreading baseless theories portraying Patrick as uncaring, unfaithful and even responsible for the children's deaths.

"It's deeply harmful to the legacy of my children," Patrick said. "It is a huge distraction from what really matters here, which is perinatal mental health, and it's done real harm to real people."

Patrick's wife, Dr. Rachel Danis, joined him for the "60 Minutes" interview and recalled first learning about his children after noticing their photograph on his phone during a coffee outing.

"I just asked, ‘Who are those cuties?’" Danis told Douthat. "And Pat had said, ‘Those are my kids.’"

 
The way they are attacking the lone juror is frightening! I've never seen such outrage before. Did people go after Casey Anthony jurors? I don't remember it, if they did.

They were unanimous on Casey Anthony so no hold out. Plus the internet wasn't what it is now , too.
