A German airline pilot was apparently on meds when he decided to fly a plane into a mountain killing children returning from a holiday. Had he lived, would we feel sorry for him? She was a medical professional. She would have known that medicines have consequences. Thus this is not like someone who has killed a loved one after becoming delusional due to SSRI induced psychosis. Did everyone forget about the woman who murdered her children and blamed a "Black Man?" Under Biden, stupid men trying to flatter me would say it was time for women to rule the world because men had f'd it up. I told them such sentiment was offensive. If they deny that women can do evil than they are denying my full humanity with a potential to do evil. Essentially, they were putting into modern words the old rhyme that little girls are made of sugar and spice and everything nice. Women are made of that as well as caustic corrosive acid.

I'm going to go much further and state that if a woman is having violent thoughts postpartum (even though Clancy was well past postpartum), her body is telling her she's not meant to have children.

The husband drugged her, killed the kids, and framed her for it. It's obvious.

If the jury couldn't decide her case, why are you so sure you have all the facts?

It’s called an opinion.

The case is all out there anyone can review the evidence and testimony. The girl had free will and knew right from wrong.

She strangled all 3 of her children and planned this out.

Many people have opinions about the Lindsay Clancy jury. Imagine “justice” before the invention of the jury. This Ledger Short explores that world.

Whatever your opinions about the current jury system, or its recent application, it’s undoubtedly an improvement on what came before. https://thelongledger.substack.com/p/before-the-jury

I read somewhere that her husband said he had never heard of postpartum psychosis till after his children were killed. Really? With all the info on the internet and you make 400K a year, you never looked up anything about postpartum mental illness. I don’t buy that. And her sister, the SW, I was less than impressed with her and also what she DIDN’T say when she was being questioned.

From a PICU RN that practiced at the bedside in a Children’s Hospital for 38 years.

Whatever. It’s not grounds for an insanity defence; so if that’s what you’re saying - get stuffed.

I was simply making some observations. I didn’t say what conclusion I had come to. Why would you find it necessary to be rude and trash talk-it’s block and mute time for you.

Why aren't you brave enough to let HM's other reply not be hidden?
