Because you don't understand how legal proceedings work apparently.

Seems to be a new trend. The girl who crashed her car into the school and killed her 2 passengers said she blacked out and also doesn't remember anything. Fine.
We can be reasonable. We are not looking for the death penalty. Just sit here in your cell for the rest of your life. You won't even have to do it 2 times or 3 times. We are not gonna torture you. Just sit here in this cell, until u die 1 time. The End

What do legal proceedings have to do with the facts: her attempts to get more drugs, her plan to get him out of the house, he sudden ability to hear voices that disappeared and hasn’t returned since.

In Massachusetts, once the defense presents some evidence of insanity, then the burden shifts to the state to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant was not insane at the time of the offense.

Hence, why I said what I said.

Generally speaking, do you believe that NGRI should be a possible verdict for a criminal case?



Missed this, but I've never given it much thought.

Generally, I don't see value in it other than perhaps not wanting the insane imprisoned with the slightly less insane. Societally, I think focusing on the edge cases in crime and punishment (especially where raw culpability isn't in dispute) is sort of the byproduct of "be nice" culture, akin to "oh no a crying child we can't enforce the borders."

If you kill three children in a fact pattern that is murder in every other possible sense, you get treated like someone who did that, period. I'm sure there are test cases someone could come up with that would give me more to think about here, but overall, no.

Yet the only evidence of actual psychosis is her saying she heard a voice 2 weeks later


The hospital chaplain testified today that Clancy told her about the voice the day after the murders: “She alluded to having heard a voice, and the voice, according to Lindsay, told her that if she did not follow the command neither she nor her children would be safe."

Thanks for the response. I agree that she should be confined for life without the possibility of release.

But you think she actually heard this voice just that one time and she didn’t have the understanding of right and wrong to ignore it and not murder her children?

I didn't say any of that. I just stated what the chaplain said in response to your previous post.

I’m asking you what you actually think. It’s okay if you haven’t said it yet.

I don't know if she did or didn't actually hear voices.

Legally, I think the prosecution put on a very poor case in chief and hasn't proved beyond a reasonable doubt that she wasn't insane at the time of the week offense.


Similarly, I don't believe the defense has shown by clear and convincing evidence (the legal standard in Ohio for the affirmative defense of NGRI). But in Massachusetts, the defense doesn't have to overcome that burden of proof.

I haven’t watched the whole trial. It’s tough to get a clear picture of how each lawyer is doing. CourtTV sucks the defense lawyer dick but they’re entertainment, not news and they only have defense lawyers on.

I agree but why spend the money on her?

Just take her out back and shoot her in the fricking head.

God made it very clear, do NOT mess with children. Very simple.
