A viral X post aimed at Lindsay Clancy’s supporters has sparked a buzz as a GoFundMe started for her parents raised more than $1.2 million toward a $3 million goal. The judge in Lindsay’s trial declared a mistrial after the jury could not reach a unanimous verdict and remained deadlocked after a week of deliberations.
The X post asked Lindsay’s supporters if they would still defend her if she killed their children instead of her own. “Those children deserved to live. Their lives mattered. And their families deserve justice. Justice for Cora, Dawson, and baby Callan. Always get a nope!”
The Massachusetts mother faces three counts of murder in the killings of her children Cora, 5; Dawson , 3; and Callan, 8 months.
“If Lindsay Clancy had killed your children instead of her own, would you still defend her actions because of her mental illness,or would you be demanding justice?” the X post reads. “Mental illness doesn’t give you a pass,” adds the post. Another said, “My question to every supporter has been would you let her watch your children?
Because she was in the midst of a psychotic episode that stemmed from postpartum mental illness, her defense attorneys, on the other hand, argued that she is not criminally responsible.
Lindsay, 35, “acted intentionally, rationally and swiftly” when she fatally strangled her three children at their Duxbury home on January 24, 2023, according to prosecutors.
