September 4, 2026. After a week of deliberation, a mistrial was declared for Lindsay Clancy. The vote was 11 to 1 in favor of acquittal. Lindsay was remanded back in custody to a psychiatric hospital.
Backstory
On January 24, 2023, Lindsay Clancy strangled her three children (ages 5, 3 and 8 months) with exercise bands, then attempted suicide by jumping from a second story window. She survived with spinal cord injuries leaving her paralyzed from the waist down.
Lindsay’s legal defense: postpartum psychosis combined with a bipolar disorder and side effects from numerous medications.
The prosecution’s case: Lindsay methodically planned the killings, sending her husband Patrick off on a long errand, while she choked out her victims one-by-one in the basement. According to Patrick Clancy, his wife appeared normal on the day it happened. While at CVS, they spoke on their cell phones. No clue was given that she was in the midst of murdering their children. At the hospital, she asked if she had a lawyer.
Cause Celebre
As in previous similar cases, feminists have sided with the perpetrator of the crime. Feminists online have a number of theories, most blaming her husband, who is not accused of any crime. They claim he drugged his wife, then forced her to do it. Or that he did it and threw Lindsey out the window. Or that he is responsible for not getting her help. (Lindsay did receive psychiatric help, medicine and had a nanny assist her. Sadly, she was beyond help.)
In more far-fetched theories, feminists have proof (astrologically-speaking) that Lindsay couldn’t have done it “because she’s a Leo.” Also, the Tarot cards say “Patrick did it.”
It gets worse. Women are going online, using babies as props by frightening them and saying, “Same, Lindsay.”
One woman said that women should be allowed to kill one man a year “to weed out the bad apples.”
A Dangerous Precedent
If there is a second trial and Lindsay Clancy is found “Not Guilty”, it would mean that all women are blameless for any crime based on their hormonal activity.
I’ve said for many years the feminist movement would lead to this. If you support killing the unborn up to the ninth month, children would be next.
Conclusion
Trends and fads fade. Women will find another topic to occupy their minds. But, there’s no turning back on what’s said online. Lives and careers will be damaged. In the final analysis, it is the three children who should be remembered. They are or were the future.
