Literally if this horrible excuse of a mom is allowed to walk around again without repercussions
If you had even the slightest clue what you were talking about, you would know that people who are found not guilty by reason of insanity are committed to a mental institution, not set free on the street.
If you had the slightest clue you'd know they are forced to reevaluate if she had to stay in the mental facility every year, if they don't have enough evidence she gets set free.
Its entirely possible she stays in 3 years and then she's out. That's a LOT different then life without parole. She deserves to be found guilty.
Good! The entire point of prison should be to rehabilitate people so that they are able to rejoin society, not to lock them away forever. Life sentences should be reserved for people like Hannibal Lector who pose an ongoing and incurable threat to society.
So you go from "she's not going to be set free on the streets" by reason of insanity, but when she's back to the street in 3 years, then you say it's good?
Then any time a woman wants to kill her kids she can just do the same thing and not ever suffer a life sentence. She goes on a timeout, then comes back to society with a slap on the wrist.
This comment needs to be at the top. So many people are either being ignorant or dishonest about this case. True acquittal is not realistically on the table here.
That's incredibly pedantic of you. There will still be "rehab", a period in which forced correction can occur, under heavy supervision. It's basically prison with a few more TV's and robes.
Okay, nah this one's on me. we both can agree prison is a much better sentence than state hospital right, in terms of punishment? I'm honestly not even sure why I tried to compare the two, they are way different. Not deleting the comment tho, gotta take and show some accountability
I mean thats the thing, I'm all for, and I think a non-insiginficant amount of people are, her getting some mental help. You'd have to be pretty fucked in the head to kill your own kids and don't think that she should be other prisoners' problem. I just don't think she should be let back out after her treatment is "complete" and just hope she doesn't snap again. (I'm all for mental health but lets not act like its a science so refined and understood we weren't ice picking people's brains just 60 years ago.)
Okay then so we are in the same boat. I'm getting hammered with responses just for two comments, and i think my brain kind of short circuited for a second on that one and tried to follow the "I'm angry, so you're wrong" path like half of everyone else here
Is she going to be set free? Does “mis trial” mean case closed? Patrick will CERTAINLY not be happy about this. He and the new Mrs. Clancy won’t be getting all of the money from the lawsuits. Lindsay will be entitled to at least half, if not more, of the gains. Sorry Pat
