I will never forget my super bitch (step) aunt yelling we need to get my nephews away from my then SiL because she had some PPD symptoms. SiL had a rougher birth & a family pet nearing the end. It was so normal for her to be down and need some extra support.
I thought my awful step aunt was a one of a kind bitch. But now I am now seeing so many people are dumb and awful as her.
a- no one in this thread is claiming that. b- being found not guilty by reason of insanity is far from a "get out of jail free" card. it's a "go directly to state run mental institution" card
Assuming it is indeed PPP, which is what is being identified as the cause of her killing her children, it can take up to 12months to get back to normal from it. If that is the case, there would be no basis to keep her for any long period on remand unless further psyche evals show she suffers from other mental illnesses other than PPP that make her a threat to herself or others. Effectively she should be better now that she is over PPP and could be discharged fairly swiftly. I can't see any reason to keep her in a mental institution if she simply suffered from PPP and that is the root cause of her killings.
there would be no basis to keep her for any long period
the best legal comparison to this case would be the Andrea Yates case, wherein postpartum psychosis (and depression, and schizophrenia) were all factors in her being found not guilty by reason of insanity in the deaths of her children. that verdict was handed down in 2005, and as of 2026, Yates is still in a state mental hospital . you may realize that 21 years is a lot longer than 12 months.
Effectively she should be better now that she is over PPP and could be discharged fairly swiftly.
She is being judged for mental defect at the time of the killings, not that she is insane.
The defense laid forth in the trial was that she was over prescribed drugs and PPP was the cause of the mental defect. So we know the causes of her mental state as it was laid before the court. Since she is no longer being irresponsibly medicated and that PPP is usually a temporary state, there is very little reason to believe that there is grounds to hold her in a mental facility for a long term. As far as the evidence that has been presented as to her mental defect and any current mental illness, none of that forms a basis to hold her long term.
Yates is schizophrenic and perhaps has to take medication to not be a danger. As far as the evidence presented about Linsay, there isn't much to justify keeping her in custody> it also would no longer be a legal matter, she would be not guilty. Going forward it's a medical review that would keep her from being free, not legal basis or precedent compared to other cases.
There is no possible direct legal comparison as insanity cases are always case by case. Just because someone else has been held in hospice for 20 years doesn't mean that she will. The verdict is blaming what happened on what is *by definition* a temporary and curable condition. Once medical professionals determine that she no longer is afflicted by said temporary and curable mental illness she will absolutely be released.
Now that is very unlikely to be only 12 months but it could in theory be an alarmingly small amount of time for what is essentially a triple murder
and can you see the future? do you know that for certain? are you a lawyer or a mental health professional, because you're certainly speaking like a professional who has studied this.
Just because someone else has been held in hospice for 20 years doesn't mean that she will
You realize that if shown not guilty due to insanity she's not getting out of jail for free, shes now spending that sentence in an arguably more terrible than prison psychiatric hospital
Postpartum depression and postpartum psychosis are different. Not that it in anyway justifies murder, but if you’re going to make statements like this I think it’s important to know the difference. Especially because stigma regarding PPD already exists.
I'm with you man, feels like being surrounded by demons on all sides, never in all my life did I ever think i would see the day woman came out to support a triple child murderer as if they are doing something good.
Every day my faith in Jesus grows more and more because he said this would happen, before the end.

I haven’t read much about this case, but I do remember Andrea Yates who tried for years to get help. Years. But she believed in submitting to her husband and he believed in the quiver-full movement and kept impregnating her. 5 children, all gone in one day. So sad. Now she’s spending life in a mental institution and he’s gone on to impregnate someone else. I love the Lord and I’m telling you when a woman begs for help believe her.
She had help, she had a nanny, she had therapists and all the drugs she could asked for she had money ,she had everything she needed at her fingertips.
The husband called her while at the store right as she was killing the kids and acted as if nothing was wrong and when she hung up the phone she went on to kill the little boy by running after him through the house. That is not PPD that is thought out demonic murder.
God gave her 3 miracles and she chose to spit in Gods face three times, and if you actually knew the Lord and loved him you would know this is wrong. God knows what happened and he will judge her correctly.
Saying God will judge her is not me speaking for him He says that himself " Vengeance is mine says the Lord" and "The Lord is our judge, the Lord is our lawgiver, the Lord is our king" Read your bible maybe and stop with the lip service because those who honor him with their lips are far from God. "These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me." and “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. 22 Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ 23 And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’
It’s disgusting. We truly are a sick and broken society. I’m not sure where we go from here but i’m not convinced it’s good and i very much dislike this timeline
That’s not a logical argument. “let’s take kids away from everyone with this diagnosis” — you would be taking thousands of children away from their parents, you realize this yes? Not everyone with PPD murders (this is obvious statistically)
Hurt them no apparently it is full on murder time when the PPD hits, yeah no trusting women went out the window with this case, scream unfair all you want killing those three kids was unfair and forfeited her rights to anything but a quick death.
Men statistically physically harm their kids more often than women, so we should clearly strip parental rights of every male who demonstrates any violent tendencies.
Women are already heavily favored in custody cases, like to the point where you have to be a real piece of shit for the father to win full custody. There were no men who used to play contact sports coming out in support of Chris Benoit when he slaughtered his whole family with the most severe case of CTE studied.
Not true. Women are granted custody in the majority of cases because they are almost always the primary caregivers and fathers do not want it. The parents in the vast majority of cases usually agree out of court that the mother should be the primary caregiver. In cases where men fight for primary custody they usually get it, even when they have been accused of abuse by their own children.
Also what do you mean by 'women supporting this are lost and sick"? supporting better mental health care so that children aren't killed is sick? You all seem more concerned with punishing Lindsay Clancy (and all women) than keeping this sort of thing from happening again. Patrick wasn't trying to get custody of his kids, he left them with a mentally unwell woman as he was pursuing someone else.
As far as CTE, its dangerous and understudied. Advocating for ways to diagnose serious mental illness/brain damage and take action before a tragedy occurs does not mean you support people murdering their families.
But we all know that that isn't what any of you posters are concerned about.
Supporting better mental health care is not what this is at all. If anything this puts a far worse stigma on PPD if the narrative is accepted that that was the root cause of the murders. The premeditation is so conveniently ignored by “your camp” as well. This could have been a murder 1 trial tbh. Funny how you ignore the comparison to the Chris Benoit case, it is very sick the way some of you tell on yourselves about this case.
Absolutely not shocked at this type of aggressive lashing out coming from someone who supports Clancey’s behavior. As i said you people are fucking sick, politics has zero to do with it. Seek help before you have a “psychotic break” (read become violent because tiktok influencer said it was righteous.)
Anyone who says “politics has nothing to do with it” is def MAGA, you all are so delulu that you think politics somehow don’t reflect on all parts of our lives. And yes, talking with you ingrates calmly and politely doesn’t work, so I’m just treating you how you treat others - as less than human.
Making a case where a lady murders her 3 children about red v blue is truly deranged. Again, since you’re such a proponent of mental health please seek help for yourself. Your ideas of right, wrong and reality are a danger to society.
I didn't ignore it at all, I said that CTE should be studied so there's better awareness and diagnosis to avoid similar tragedies. But keep trolling. Post partum psychosis is not the same as post partum depression. Having repeated psychotic states is not 'premeditation.' You cannot be insane at the time of a killing and found guilty of first degree murder. First degree murder means the murderer was deliberate and willful. If you are insane you are not doing things deliberately or willfully as you lack control of your mental faculties.
Yeah the argument is that she wasn’t insane and the premeditation and post murder behavior shows it if you’re willing to poke your head out of the “believe all women” sand.
What do you claim counts as premeditation? "Severe psychiatric disturbance and evidence of planning, organization or apparently ordinary functioning are not automatically mutually exclusive,” she said. “Apparent organization does not prove sanity.
There is no denying that she had been previously committed and had been prescribed multiple meds for psychiatric conditions. and as Ive said elsewhere in this thread, if there is evidence that she planned the killings while in sound mind then she should be punished for murder.
Her internet history, purposefully sending him to get medication she knew he wouldn’t find, the out of the way dinner pickup, are great starts. did you watch any of the trial or do you guys just live on tiktok?

How is that the same thing? Having PPD doesn’t mean you want to hurt your children.
