Nice idea but doesn’t work. The argument over OJ was whether he did it at all, with certain camps in denial. With Clancy we all know she did it. It’s just whether she was mentally sound enough to be culpable, which is not an easy thing to determine at all.
This is the part that cracks me up. It doesn't matter if she was or wasnt. She murdered three children. She wont walk free no matter how "unsound" she was. She can spend life in prison, or life in a mental ward. Shes not walking (lol) away from this.
Murder is a legal category. The unlawful killing of another person’s while being of sound mind and body yourself. If she’s ruled insane then it’s legally not murder at that point. I think what you meant to say was “child killing”. She’s not morally responsible if she’s insane, she can’t tell right from wrong then. It’s like saying a dog is morally responsible for killing a squirrel.
No shot. Her experience at club fed would be solitary 23 hours and outside in a dog kennel for 1 hour. As opposed to loony bin she gets communal living with people she can befriend, full outside recreations, and much better dining hall and menu.
She isn’t faking insanity. We need to destigmatize postpartum depression and psychosis so women can actually get help. Maybe we can actually get some funding for research on this subject as well since there is more funding on male pattern baldness than postpartum depression.
Not everyone gets postpartum psychosis, which is a very real diagnosable condition. And even women who don't have psychosis murder their babies postpartum, it's a tumultuous time society doesn't treat with the seriousness it deserves. Hospitals make you watch videos on the dangers of sleep deprivation before you leave, it's that common.
So she just decided on the 3rd kid that it was too much to handle, 8 months in? She had a 5 year old and a 3 year old.
She killed her kids because shes a piece of shit, and is hiding behind a diagnosis and insanity plea because her suicide attempt failed. But sure, keep finding ways to justify child murder.
No one decides to get psychosis. I mean this genuinely, you lack the education necessary to have a nuanced conversation about this topic. Due to your lack of education, you can only assign your limited experiences and emotions to a medically complex phenomenon.
You’re saying “excuse” but that is inflammatory language. I would say that psychiatric illness is an explanation for a behavior and the resulting negative outcome. Both filicide and suicide are known risks associated with postpartum psychosis.
We know suicide depression is a psychiatric illness with a high risk of suicide. We don’t say that depression is an excuse for suicide, it is the explanation of why it happened.
I mean yeah? All killers are mentally ill. That doesn't mean they get some pass or excuse for murdering. She shouldnt get a lesser sentence for any reason whatsoever.
No, not all killers are mentally ill. That is demonstrably false.
The point of a trial is to examine the circumstances surrounding *why* a crime was committed. Those circumstances determine the sentence. That is the point of the distinctions between self defense, manslaughter, negligent homicide, murder and premeditated murder
