How Can This Happen by Betsey Bell
Sep 21, 2026 · 31 min · 9 segments
Just like no fault insurance you will have no fault crime. No fault reporting etc. It's not your fault no matter what you do.

It's always hard to get back into How Can This Happen? on Monday, 'cause I've had a weekend to review thoughts, ideas, conclusions.

And what do I mean by that? Well, I don't think it should be your fault that you committed a crime.

The problem becomes society's problem, because society is paying the price for no-fault crime.

Just go to wherever you get your podcasts and put in How Can This Happen? When I'm speaking of no-fault crime, it's kind of on the sort of what you would call the, uh, mm, no-fault insurance idea required.

You get paid money whether it was your fault or not, and that, my friends, is what we call personal injury protection.

It pays for all your medical bills and lost wages after a car crash through your own insurer.

Do you think it's costing you more money to have no-fault insurance? But then whose fault is that, that it costs more money? What happens if you have no-fault crime? Who's gonna do the time? Well, it doesn't seem to be high on the agenda of certain people when it comes to the murder of three children, and we know that Lindsay Clancy is guilty.

But it wasn't her fault, so why are we expecting her to be punished? They, Patrick and Lindsay, were living in a seaside town of Duxbury, Massachusetts, a real low-rent neighborhood, right? They had been married six years, and at the time of the birth of the third child, Lindsay made repeated emergency room visits.

She admitted herself to a program for patients with postpartum depression, which is a very serious condition.

When it comes to what happened in this case, the interesting thing is she admitted herself to a program for postpartum depression but was discharged after a day of treatment.

So whose fault is it that she's not gonna do the time? She was also prescribed an escalating number of prescription drugs, and her husband, Patrick, said that he struggled to help his wife navigate the medical system.
