Case #029

I think at this point, this is Friday, right? it's very possible they're going to come out with the verdict,

like, soon, right? Aye.

I mean, they went out yesterday to deliberate, like, halfway through the day, and then they got sent home, so they're back today deliberating.

Yeah, I feel like it's going to be a while.

They all have to agree.

So, it can't be, it has to be unanimous, no matter what.

So, if they continue on and continue on, and they have to come back, and the judge has to have a talk with them and then they go back and they still, none of them can unanimously agree, it would be a mistrial.

Part of me doesn't think that that would be the worst idea to an extent because I feel like not enough digging was done.

Well, maybe we should start there.

Yeah.

What is it that they're deliberating? So this particular trial is not a question of whether Lindsay Clancy killed her kids.

It's not that at all.

No.

Because she has come out and said that she did.

Her defense is saying she did.

but the jurors are to decide whether she was criminally involved.

Competent, pretty much.

So with Massachusetts law, it's not so much like, okay, if you plead insanity, you're acquitted.

It's not that.

So they're deciding whether or not she truly was in a state of psychosis in this particular case, postpartum psychosis.

And if in that timeline was, can we say that she was truly out of her body? So it is interesting because TikTok is having a completely different, not TikTok, but social media is having a completely different trial.

Oh, they absolutely are having a completely different trial than the one that you were actually seeing.

Like the clips that you see compared to the, like I have friends that are just sending me like random things and, uh, You open it up and you watch it or you read it and you're like, okay.

So it is wild.

I do think the rise of true crime, everything, is giving all of us regulars a newfound confidence that we can crack the case.
